Fox News
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Friday announced that it is terminating two border wall contracts in the Laredo Sector of Texas that amount to 31 miles of construction as part of its broader plan to stop the Trump-era project.
"DHS continues to review all other paused border barrier projects and is in the process of determining which projects may be necessary to address life, safety, environmental, or other remediation requirements and where to conduct environmental planning," the department said in a statement. The 31 miles of barrier construction was funded with DHS Fiscal Year 2020 appropriations but had not yet been started in the sector.More Related News
