The Trump administration has temporarily paused construction of a border wall project within Big Bend National Park in Texas while U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott conducts an “on-the-ground evaluation.” The decision follows bipartisan criticism of the project, which opponents say would damage a pristine environmental area. Commissioner Scott announced the pause on Monday, stating he would assess the situation firsthand.
Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers had voiced concerns about building the wall through the national park. While the sources do not detail the specific objections raised by each party, the pause indicates a response to the widespread disapproval. No right-leaning sources reported on the story beyond the announcement of the pause itself.
The project’s future remains dependent on the findings of Commissioner Scott’s evaluation.
