Trump Seeks to Halt Biden's 'Possibly Criminal' Sale of Border Wall Materials in Texas Court
Dec 20, 2024, 04:43 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has filed an amicus brief in the Southern District of Texas to halt the Biden administration's sale of border wall materials, labeling the action as 'possibly criminal'. The brief supports a legal effort by Texas and Missouri to immediately stop the ongoing sales, arguing that the Biden administration's conduct may violate a court's permanent injunction that prohibits using funds designated for border wall construction for other purposes. The materials in question, including steel bollards, have been auctioned off on GovPlanet, an online government surplus marketplace, for as low as $5 per piece since at least 2023. Trump's brief calls for a thorough examination of the government's actions, suggesting potential criminal behavior if the sales are intended to obstruct his administration's border wall policy.
