FILE - In this April 12, 2014, file photo, the Bundy family and their supporters fly the American flag as their cattle is released by the Bureau of Land Management back onto public land outside of Bunkerville, Nev. The federal Bureau of Land Management says six cattle died in the roundup of animals it says rancher Cliven Bundy allowed to graze illegally on public land outside his southern Nevada property. The BLM said Tuesday, April 22, 2014, that two of four animals that were euthanized bore Bundy brands.

 

The attorney general of Texas has a stark warning for state residents, on the heels of the federal government’s armed standoff at the Cliven Bundy cattle ranch: The BLM may be headed to our neck of the woods next, with intent to take over 90,000 acres of prime Red River property.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott wrote in a letter to Bureau of Land Management director Neil Kornze that he has “deep concern” the feds are eyeing land along the 116-mile stretch of property along the Red River — the border line between Texas and Oklahoma — that’s been in private hands “for generations,” the Daily Mail reported.

He went on: “I am deeply concerned about reports that the Bureau of Land Management is considering taking property in the state of Texas and that it now claims belongs to the federal government,” Fox News reported. “As attorney general of Texas, I am deeply troubled by reports from BLM field hearings that the federal government may claim — for the first time — that 90,000 acres of territory along the Red River now belong to the federal government.”

 

Mr. Abbott also said the BLM hasn’t fully discussed “either its full intentions [for the land] or the legal justification for its proposed actions,” the letter stated.

Not sure the BLM will get much local law enforcement support in that area of Texas.
