https://dailycaller.com/The Trump administration is fast-tracking wall construction along a critical section of the U.S.-Mexico border, the latest move by the White House to prioritize immigration enforcement.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is waiving environmental restrictions in order to expedite the construction of roughly 2.5 miles of border barrier between California and Mexico, according to a notice published Tuesday on the Federal Register by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The announcement marked the first environmental waiver used to fast-track border wall construction during President Donald Trump’s second term in office.
“There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct additional physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States,” Noem said in the notice, citing the high number of border crossings in the San Diego area in 2024.
