Supreme Court lets Big Bend border work continue.

Last month, a lower court temporarily halted border-barrier construction in and around Big Bend National Park while a lawsuit challenging waivers that bypass protections moved forward. The Supreme Court has now granted the Trump administration’s emergency request to suspend that order. Construction can continue across the Big Bend region, including parts of the park, even as the lawsuit proceeds. In its ruling, the court said a law enacted by Congress reflects a preference for border control over the environmental and recreational harms alleged in the case.
