Border Wall

While border wall opponents are celebrating, they also say the fight may not be over. Environmental activists want wildlife corridors restored; others oppose security measure like cameras and drones.

The South Texas Congressman says Trump was there to tout his border wall project, and greatly overstated how many new miles of fencing had been built during his term.

Undeterred by the insurrection last week, pro-Trump supporters gathered for a chance to wave at the president. Critics of Trump and the visit held their own rally at a separate location to avoid conflict.

Under pressure to resign after supporters stormed the Capitol last week, President Trump heads to Texas. With only a week to go in office, it's a last-ditch attempt to burnish his legacy.

The president's visit comes a week after Department of Homeland Security officials touted the “historic” completion of 450 miles of border fencing during his administration.

Extra U.S. attorneys are in Laredo to try to secure land for wall construction that could continue after President Trump leaves office.

In some cases, the federal government is suing to seize the land now and pay later, to secure it quickly in the waning days of Trump's presidency.

Builders are hurrying to get as many miles completed as possible before President-elect Joe Biden can cancel contracts. Biden has said his administration would stop building the wall.

The former political adviser to President Trump is indicted alongside three other people in connection with an effort to defraud "hundreds of thousands of donors," according to federal prosecutors.
