Trump Administration Border Wall Project Paused in Texas Park
What happened
A border wall project, part of Donald Trump’s agenda, was located in a park in Texas. The plan, initially for a 30-foot wall in Big Bend, was quietly removed this spring to end at the park's edge. The project was subsequently paused in August due to opposition from local landowners, business owners, and environmentalists.

Why it matters
The pause in the construction project affects the operational goals of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the spending priorities of DHS. The project's uncertainty also impacts the political and electoral landscape of Texas.
Donald Trump's campaign promises are driving border wall construction in Texas, leading to eminent domain issues for landowners in Big Bend.
