Texas AG Blocks Biden Administration From Disposing Border Wall Materials for 30 Days Before Trump Takes Office

Dec 28, 2024, 04:48 PM

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has successfully blocked the Biden administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. This action follows a court order that prevents the Biden administration from selling off any more border wall materials for the next 30 days, allowing Trump to utilize these materials upon assuming office. The move comes after reports that the Biden administration had been auctioning off border wall parts since at least 2023, following the cessation of most border wall construction in 2021. Paxton emphasized that this decision is part of a broader effort to hold the Biden administration accountable for actions perceived to undermine national border security, especially in light of Trump's upcoming administration and its plans to resume border wall construction.
