The Trump administration has authorized the immediate resumption of border wall construction in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Kristi Noem, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, signed a waiver to expedite the building of 8 kilometers of the wall in Starr and Hidalgo counties by allowing U.S. Customs and Border Protection to bypass environmental regulations. Officials describe the effort as a move to strengthen border security, with construction progressing rapidly under the current administration.
