One Rio Grande Valley resident is fighting to stop border wall construction near his family s historic land.
Ramiro Ramirez says he holds the deed to the Jackson Ranch Church and Cemetery, which was built by his forefathers.
Ramirez worries the adjoining Eli Jackson Cemetery is also being eyed by the government. The property which shares the same lineage, but different ownership sits closer to the wall construction. Ramirez said the government will need to acquire part of that property to complete the build.
