NEW from @Perla_Trevizo and me: An engineering report that the DOJ tried to hide from the public reveals that a controversial private border wall along the Rio Grande could indeed collapse during extreme floods.

We tried for more than a year to get the report through FOIA. Only when @ProPublica lawyers threatened to sue did the government release it.

ProPublicaDOJ Tried to Hide Report Warning That Private Border Wall in Texas Could CollapseThe report confirms a ProPublica and Texas Tribune investigation that found the privately built fencing could collapse during major flooding. The federal government resisted making the findings public for more than a year.

The fact that even Texas state legislators are asked to sign NDAs in order to get access to information about the Uvalde shootings shows how broken our government's willingness to share information is.
