US to Complete Trump's Long-Promised Mexico Border Wall by Late 2027
CBP said the wall will include surveillance and other devices, with some sections left open where officials say barriers are not needed.
- On Tuesday, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott announced the United States expects to complete President Donald Trump's border wall by late 2027 to curb illegal immigration and narcotics trafficking from Mexico.
- Building the wall was a key 2016 campaign promise for Trump; the barrier consists of reinforced metal beams intended to run from San Diego to the Gulf of Mexico.
- Scott clarified that the project excludes specific remote regions, noting there are "places where we've made a conscious decision that we don't need it," such as Big Bend National Park.
- Smugglers utilize tunnels and drones to bypass physical barriers, and Scott acknowledged, "There's a couple of gaps," that traffickers exploit to monitor patrols and move narcotics.
- Officials will supplement the wall with electronic surveillance technology by about August 2028 and install secondary barriers along the Rio Grande River to address remaining security gaps.
