Supreme Court allows Trump border wall at Big Bend National Park in Texas
The justices said the district judge lacked authority, clearing the way for 341 miles of border construction to continue while the lawsuit proceeds.
- On Monday, the Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump to move forward with border wall construction in the remote Big Bend region of West Texas, lifting an injunction that had blocked the project while litigation continues.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin issued waivers between February and July to bypass environmental laws, with the administration arguing Congress granted "broad authority" to expedite border infrastructure construction.
- U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone previously blocked the project, citing the "major questions" doctrine and noting that Big Bend has "the lowest apprehension rates" for migrants anywhere along the border.
- Plans for the 341-mile installation include a 17-mile noncontiguous vehicle barrier system in Big Bend National Park, though the administration will not install the 30-foot pedestrian barriers planned for other sectors.
- Boosted by funding from the Republican-controlled Congress, the administration seeks to complete a 2,000-mile installation as part of Trump's signature policy, despite warnings that construction would "result in the permanent alteration of an irreplaceable landscape.
