I believe it is. And here's what happened. We had sued the Biden administration a couple of years ago. And you know, these cases, these federal cases don't happen overnight. It took us a couple of years. We sued him and we said, Congress appropriated money for the building of the wall. You are not building that wall. You're actually selling off assets. So we sued him. we won that lawsuit.

And in May, we got an injunction from a federal judge saying, you, DOJ, you, Biden administration, cannot sell any more assets off. So then I get a call from President Trump, you know, a month ago, and he said, they're selling assets off. So would you sue them? And I said, well, I don't have to if I've already done it. So I already got an order. So we go back into court.

We tell the judge, hey, they're selling off assets. We've been told they're selling off assets. We went into accounting. And before we got there, DOJ is calling us, begging us, hey, we're not selling. We swear we won't sell any more assets. They didn't say they hadn't. They said we won't sell any more. So they signed an agreement and said they wouldn't sell any more. But the judge...

which we asked for, there's going to be an accounting and there's potential sanctions if they lied and they follow it, they did not follow that order. We don't know that yet, but we're going to know that soon now that DOJ is switching. We're going to know that soon.
