West Texas group sues Trump admin. over border wall project
A West Texas economic development group sued the Trump administration over a border wall project, alleging it violates federal law by failing to obtain required permissions for construction over a levee system and increases flood risks. The Presidio Municipal Development District argues the project could block water flow from arroyos and creeks into the Rio Grande, potentially causing catastrophic flooding. Customs and Border Protection stated the wall's construction plans, funded by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, are still in the planning stages.
