What do private trusts have to do with negotiations between the city of Brownsville and the US government regarding land for that d*mn fence?

The city of Brownsville and attorneys for private trusts told U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen Wednesday that their negotiations are progressing regarding land that the federal government condemned to make way for placement of a temporary border fence.

The United States took possession of 15.919 acres of land from the city in 2009, but an agreement that the parties reached contains provisions that the land would revert to the city upon construction of a new levee. The fence would then be moved to the new levee.

The fence was built on what is known as the East Loop levee between the Gateway International Bridge and the B&M International Bridge.
