A month after the last set, the Trump administration issued a new set of waivers Thursday for between roughly 60 and 80 miles of barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued the waivers that go into effect Thursday for barriers across land that stretches from Starr County to Cameron County.
“…The Acting Secretary of Homeland Security has determined, pursuant to law, that it is necessary to waive certain laws, regulations, and other legal requirements in order to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads in the vicinity of the international land border in Cameron County, Texas, Starr County, Texas, and Hidalgo County, Texas,†the filing, which was published Thursday, read.
