Department of Homeland Security Announces It Will Use Border Wall Funds to Close Some Unfinished Gaps in Trump Border Wall

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Monday that it will use border wall funds to close some unfinished gaps in the wall that former President Trump started.

President Biden shut down all construction on the wall when he entered office on Jan. 20, leaving large sections of the wall incomplete and construction material sitting unused on the border.

The plan does not include the construction of additional miles of wall but would close “small gaps that remain open from prior construction activities and remediating incomplete gates.”
