Trump Administration Starts Border Wall Construction in Texas' Big Bend Region
The Trump administration has begun constructing a border wall in the Big Bend region of west Texas, marking the first major work in an area facing strong opposition. This effort is part of a broader $46 billion plan to secure the US-Mexico border with walls, barriers, roads, and technology. Customs and Border Protection reported doubling the pace of construction, installing panels along a 47-mile stretch in Hudspeth County. Opposition from landowners and environmental groups continues, especially regarding the remote region's low illegal immigration traffic.
