| On July 7, 2033, Eric Avery was part of a No Border Wall demonstration in Eagle Pass, Texas. Texas Governor Abbott Operation Lone Star had seized Shelby Park as a staging area stopping migrants and for placing bouys in the Rio Grande. Large shipping containers lined the river bank and razor wire was put on the riverbank in front of and at ends of container baracade facing Mexico. Migrants were crossing the Rio Grande as these barriers were being placed. One of Eric’s friends in a kayak witnessed a child being handed over the razor wire. | |||||||||||||||||||
