Byers, Texas along the Red River — The BLM stole 140 acres of the Tommy Henderson ranch thirty years ago. They took his land and paid him absolutely nothing. He sued and lost. Now the BLM is using that court case as precedent to do it again. The problem is, the land they want to seize is property that ranchers have a deed for and have paid taxes on for over a hundred years.

In Texas, rancher Tommy Henderson is being told the government is confiscating his 90,000 acre ranch along the Red River. Henderson is also told that once the BLM takes his ranch for public land, he might be able to arrange a grazing contract; you know, like Cliven Bundy and his neighbors used to have in Nevada.
Henderson has a clear deed to his land in the state of Texas. He has no back taxes or fines or other issues pending. So how is the BLM taking his family ranch? The BLM has decided to declare that his land is now in Oklahoma and therefore his Texas deed became invalid when the Red River moved its banks south.

Gonna need to read up on this. State lines are a real issue but this seems crazy.

Someone will likely come in here and defend the BLM because they moved the state line and they say it invalidated his deed.
That person will be deemed a douchebag.

Does any one person really need that much land all to themselves. That should be shared with his fellow citizens.

You want to go live out in the middle of BFE with cattle?

I'm sure that's what someone concluded. How many solar disasters has China invested in?

Maybe houses in St. George will get confiscated because the title is recorded in Baton Rouge?

No. Seriously, WTF did he do to earn that land besides being born?

I hope my sarcasm meter is broken. But someone in his family earned that land at some point.
