The other side of the hill is run by the Sinaloa dug cartel, which uses gaps in the border wall to send migrants and drugs on to American soil.

Largest Federal Employee Union Files Amended Shutdown Lawsuit

Article Title: Largest Federal Employee Union Files Amended Shutdown Lawsuit
Snippet of Article: "...After the 2013 shutdown, approximately 25,000 essential federal employees, represented by Heidi Burakiewicz, now a partner with KCNF DC, sued the government, arguing that the Fair Labor Standards Act requires that all employees, including federal employees, be paid on time for their services.

KCNF DC is in the process of setting up an electronic sign-up system for people to use to join the case.

"It does throw a little bit of wrench into things," said Kyle Pomerleau, economist at the Tax Foundation.
