Texas blocks Biden from disposing of border wall materials before Trump takes office
SUMMARY
A Texas court has blocked the Biden administration from disposing of border wall materials for 30 days, ensuring they remain available for President-elect Donald Trump to utilize after taking office. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the decision, calling it a victory for border security and accountability. Paxton accused the Biden administration of selling off border wall materials to sabotage Trump’s immigration agenda and emphasized the state’s commitment to holding the outgoing administration accountable. The ruling follows a hearing requested by Paxton, citing reports of Biden’s team auctioning border wall components despite an earlier injunction requiring the administration to use congressionally allocated funds to build the wall. Texas is entitled to documentation proving compliance, with potential sanctions for unethical conduct or violations of the court order.
