The Texas butterfly center in the middle of a right-wing conspiracy theory is closing indefinitely
The National Butterfly Center, which has been caught in the middle of a right-wing conspiracy campaign, is closing indefinitely, according to a notice posted to its website on Wednesday.
"We regret to announce that the National Butterfly Center will be closed to the public both members and visitors for the immediate future," the notice said.
The center, which sits at the Texas-Mexico border in Mission, Texas, was forced to close for three days last weekend, citing mounting threats linked to a pro-Trump border wall event and years of baseless human trafficking conspiracy theories promoted by Brian Kolfage, the founder of We Build The Wall.
On Tuesday, however, the center wrote on Twitter that it had resumed operations in "limited fashion, for everyone's safety."
