Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has successfully blocked the Biden administration from disposing of border wall materials, asserting that the government was illegally subverting laws. A federal judge has supported this decision, halting further auctions and sales of border wall materials, which many argue may not be structurally sound. Former President Donald Trump has also entered the fray, filing an amicus brief to prevent the sale of unused materials and criticizing Biden for selling parts of the wall at significantly reduced prices. Texas officials, including Lt. Governor, are considering purchasing the salvaged materials as the state aims to preserve Trump’s border agenda. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has claimed that it has ceased the sale of these materials, at least temporarily, amidst ongoing legal scrutiny.
