‘It’s massive destruction’: outcry in Texas over waivers to allow border wall in Big Bend national park
The Trump administration has waived environmental and historical preservation laws to build a border wall in Big Bend National Park, a protected wilderness in Texas. Congress allocated $46.5bn for border wall construction through the 'Big, Beautiful' bill, targeting a 500-mile unwalled stretch in west Texas known as the 'Big Bend sector'.
