Homeland Security said Friday it will build 20 more miles of border wall, carrying out some of former President Donald Trump’s marquee campaign promise.
The department suggested it had no choice but to begin construction thanks to the terms of the 2019 spending bill, whichSome $190 million remains unspent and President Biden risked running afoul of the law if he didn’t take steps to spend it on the wall by September.
CBP said the new construction will take place in the Border Patrol’s Yuma and El Centro sectors, which cover southeastern California and southwestern Arizona. Mr. Trump left office having erected more than 450 miles of fencing, with most of that replacing outdated designs. But the Trump team was delinquent in building the roads and add-ons for the wall system. The Government Accountability Office said in 2021 that less than 69 miles of the full wall system were built.
When Mr. Trump left office CBP had plans and funding to build more than 200 additional miles of wall.He first returned money Mr. Trump has siphoned away from the Defense Department to use for wall building, then pleaded with Congress to cancel the rest of the money Congress had actually allocated to the wall.
