Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : This week, the butterfly center was forced to close its doors indefinitely amid ongoing threats from far-right conspiracists and QAnon followers who falsely claim it is a haven for human-trafficking and illegal migration.
53% : The North American Butterfly Association (NABA), which runs the center, decided to close it down indefinitely on Wednesday as a precautionary measure, after being warned to "be armed at all times or out of town" during a We Stand America rally in support of a border wall.
49% : Treviño-Wright said the construction of sections of the border wall, and the subsequent vitriol that came from QAnon followers and Trump supporters, had a profound effect on the butterfly center and its staff.
45% : A court date for the case about the section of border wall on the center's property has not been set yet.
