Big Bend Wall Blocked

Federal Judge Blocks Border Wall Construction in Big Bend Region of Texas

A federal judge has blocked the construction of a border wall in the Big Bend region in Texas, stopping the Department of Homeland Security's attempt to rapidly expand the Southwestern border wall. The decision was made in response to local outrage and environmental concerns. The administration is now barred from building a border barrier or infrastructure in the region, pending further orders from U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone. This comes after it was temporarily halted in August by the Department for Homeland Security.
