The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to resume border wall construction in the Big Bend region of Texas. The border wall is a key project for President Donald Trump, who has promised to build it from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. Republicans in Congress funded the project with $46 billion last summer. Customs and Border Protection have been building 12 miles of border barriers a week. In the Big Bend region, bipartisan opposition argues the project wastes money in an area with historically low illegal immigration. They suggest using surveillance technology instead.
