Americas3 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported22m ago
The Trump administration has begun construction on a controversial 30-foot border wall in the Big Bend region of west Texas, near Comstock. This development marks the first major construction in this specific area of the U.S.-Mexico border and represents a key milestone in the administration's broader $46 billion plan to secure the southern border with walls, barriers, roads, and technology.
The project advances despite heavy opposition and bipartisan backlash from local residents regarding the construction of the barrier through a Texas national park. The initiative fulfills a central campaign promise made by Donald Trump to finish building the border wall.
