  • The Biden administration must stop disposing of border wall materials before President-elect Donald Trump assumes office and provide proof that it didn't illegally redirect money intended for the border wall construction,

The Biden administration has been ordered by a federal judge to cease selling materials intended for the construction of the border wall and to provide evidence that it did not illegally redirect funds meant for the wall's construction. This ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by Republican-led states, arguing that the administration's actions contravene the 1974 Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act. The states claim that the Department of Defense improperly reprogrammed funds, which were originally allocated for the wall under the Trump administration. The judge's decision requires the administration to halt the sale of these materials until further notice and to submit documentation proving compliance with federal funding laws. This legal battle highlights ongoing tensions regarding border security and the use of federal funds.
