The Bureau of Land Management is in the process of stealing another ranchers land.
Tommy Henderson has already lost land to the BLM and is currently fighting their latest attempt to take his property, “How can BLM come in and say, ‘Hey, this isn’t yours’?” Henderson asked. “… Our family paid taxes for over 100 years on this place. We’ve got a deed to it. But yet they walked in and said it wasn’t ours?”
BLM uses the fact that the border between Texas and Oklahoma, which is the Red River, constantly changes, to claim the land. They have already seized 140 acres of land, now they are trying to seize 90,000 acres and substantially change the border between the two states.
“Originally, here the river was out there where it is now and it eroded and accreted up to here, and then it eroded and accreted back. Well, [BLM’s] interpretation is that it eroded up to here but avulsed back. So when you listen to them it is always erosion to the south because the property line follows it then, but it’s always avulsion when it goes north. So the boundary can move south but it can never move back north,” states Henderson.
“We have numerous places that have been in our family for over a hundred of years, and you hate to see land that people’s worked hard for would lose. As producers we are always on a defense. We have to make decisions to try to help ourselves to help one another.”
This has to stop. Wish we had a President with a backbone and honest and just to stop this . Blm is going too far

Follow the money.
Georgia Clark.. thanks for posting the map. HOLY COW! Why on earth does the federal government own/control all of that land in the Western states? Something stinks here! We must demand that politicians with a backbone take this time to grow a pair and stop the abuse by the federal government, before it’s too late!
BLM are idiots doing obamas bidding!
They want the land for terrorist muslims
The BLM are terrorist and traitors and should be prosecuted from the top down to the last man.
Well, here we go. I had read that B.O. had signed one of his “executive orders” to grab land from citizens. Watch, you are going to see more of this. Hey, you liberals, you might be next and I hope you are!!!!
no seizures by blm
I’m praying for all the Ranchers that is being abused by the BLM.
