Biden Administration Auctions Border Wall Materials Before Trump’s Return

Unused border wall sections are being sold at low prices, raising accusations of political sabotage as Trump plans to resume construction.

The Biden administration is auctioning off unused border wall materials through GovPlanet, with bidding starting as low as $5 per section.
Approximately half a mile of wall materials is being removed daily from three Arizona locations—Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points—before Christmas.
Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Eli Crane and Sen. Eric Schmitt, have accused the administration of undermining President-elect Trump’s border security plans.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has pledged to purchase the auctioned materials and donate them to Trump for future wall construction.
Critics highlight that the government is recouping only a fraction of the taxpayer-funded cost of the materials, estimated at $300 million.
