Probably more of a local story from KTSM. The last line sort of cracked me up.
The Diocese says this property is part of a holy site. Atop the mountain sits a 29-foot-tall limestone statue of Jesus Christ “that serves as a shrine to thousands of faithful in the El Paso and Southern New Mexico area.”
…
KTSM has reached out to the Department of Justice for comment and about the government’s plans for the statue of Jesus Christ that sits atop of the mountain.
