Federal Judge Halts Biden Administration Border Wall Material Sales

The ruling ensures unused border wall materials remain available for President-elect Trump’s planned border security initiatives.

A federal judge in Texas has prohibited the Biden administration from selling off unused border wall materials, following legal action by Texas and Missouri.
The Biden administration agreed to the court order, which bars further sales for 30 days and requires documentation proving compliance with previous rulings on border wall funding.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton argued that selling the materials violated a prior injunction mandating the use of funds for border wall construction.
President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to use the preserved materials to resume border wall construction and implement stricter immigration policies upon taking office.
The halted sales come after reports of unused materials being auctioned at low prices, prompting criticism from Republican lawmakers and allegations of sabotage.
