Trump Administration Begins Border Wall Construction in Texas's Big Bend Region
The Trump administration has begun constructing the border wall in Texas's Big Bend region, marking the first major work in an area facing significant opposition. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported that installation of 30-foot steel panels started on September 15 along a 47-mile stretch in Hudspeth County. This effort is part of a broader $46 billion plan to enhance border security with walls, barriers, roads, and technology. Construction updates are regularly posted by CBP, while work near Big Bend National Park remains paused to address concerns.
