A federal judge lets DHS proceed with a border wall through a small Texas town’s levee system

A federal judge permitted the Department of Homeland Security to proceed with building a border wall through a levee system in Presidio, Texas, rejecting arguments that the project could cause flooding or violate legal requirements. The ruling supports the Trump administration's $46 billion border wall initiative, which faces opposition from environmental groups, landowners, and others over potential environmental and cultural impacts.
