RGV border wall bollards won't be auctioned, CBP says

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has clarified that the steel bollards from the Rio Grande Valley border wall will not be auctioned off, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise. The confusion arose from a CBP auction site listing that mentioned "border wall materials," leading to speculation about the sale of the wall itself. However, CBP officials confirmed that the auction only pertains to surplus materials like steel tubing, not the actual border wall. This clarification came after concerns were raised by local residents and officials about the potential security implications of selling off parts of the border infrastructure. The materials listed for auction are from a stockpile of unused border wall materials, and the decision to auction these items is part of broader efforts to manage surplus government property.
