The Trump administration has initiated construction on a portion of the U.S.-Mexico border wall in the Big Bend region of southwest Texas, according to The Hill. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) informed the Associated Press that installation of 30-foot panels was already underway along this section of the southern border. The project has faced pushback from local leaders, who have expressed concerns about its impact on the region. ABC News also reported that the Trump administration has started building the border wall in the Big Bend region of west Texas. The construction began earlier this year, marking a significant step in the administration's efforts to advance the border wall project despite opposition.
