Trump administration seeks court approval to resume Big Bend wall
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 21:32 · Archive
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to lift a lower court halt on border wall construction in Texas's Big Bend region.
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to lift a lower court decision halting construction of a border wall project through the Big Bend region of Texas. The government filed an emergency appeal, marking a setback for one of President Donald Trump's signature projects as his administration races forward with border wall and infrastructure construction from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico.
Opponents of the Big Bend project include ranchers, residents, business owners and environmentalists who have filed numerous lawsuits to stop the work. They argue the project is a waste of money in an area with historically low illegal immigration and that construction could damage the region's landscapes.
The Big Bend project consists of a mixture of walls, vehicle barriers and surveillance technology.
