Biden Administration to Resume Border Wall Construction
The Biden administration, once opposed to the construction of the Southern border wall, will now begin building a portion of the wall in Star County, Texas. The Department of Homeland Security plans to waive federal laws in order to ensure the construction of the wall, citing the need to address the high number of migrant encounters in the Rio Grande Valley sector. This shift in stance comes after President Biden halted construction of the wall earlier this year.
