Wilson v. Peters et al

Words: 3024 · Source Novel:: The Border's Secret Law

The federal prosecutor charges the families under the Anti-Smuggling Act, but the case is mysteriously moved to a civil land dispute: Wilson v. Peters et al. While reviewing the evidence, Clara finds an obscure clause, Section 17(c) of the Border Integrity Act, which grants immunity for activities within “historical subterranean easements” if they predate the wall. The clause is so surgically precise that it feels planted. Digging deeper, Clara traces its drafting to a former legislative aide, now deceased, who worked for Senator Adrian Drakos. Meanwhile, an anonymous tip reveals Harker was investigating tunnel logistics for a pharmaceutical cartel—a cartel that has been moving narcotics through dozens of similar tunnels with tacit legal protection. Clara realizes the lawsuit is a cover-up designed to bury the truth before the loophole is exposed.
