However, after the survey was completed, the Biden administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usda.gov\/about-usda\/news\/press-releases\/2025\/04\/28\/trump-administration-announces-us-government-has-dropped-criminal-charges-against-small\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">transformed<\/a> a simple civil dispute into a \u201ccostly, invasive, and unnecessary criminal prosecution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rollins noted that the \u201cfence that was put up in 1910 by Charles\u2019s great-great grandad that no one ever thought there was a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She added, \u201cFast forward one hundred and ten years, and someone from the Forest Service shows up, says your fence might not be in the right place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[Last] they hear of it until agents in SWAT gear show up at their front door and say that they are being criminally charged for theft of government property that they need to find guardians for their young children because they are likely going to jail,\u201d the Agriculture Secretary continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rollins charged, \u201cThe fact that this happened in America should absolutely stun everyone in this room today, everyone on the livestream, every media representative that\u2019s here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She asked rhetorically, \u201cThis is America. You\u2019re going to put people in jail over a fence line?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrasting it with the Democrats, she said, \u201cWe have members of the other party going to El Salvador going to get a gang member out [of] prison, that\u2019s who they are fighting for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rollins remarked, \u201cSo, thankful to the White House, thankful to President Trump. We got all of the criminal charges dropped. We had the Maudes in town a week ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rollins noted that they had set up a hotline to blow the whistle about other instances of government weaponization to stop more outrages like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beware the federal government.
