A federal judge temporarily blocked construction of the Trump administration's border wall in Texas’s Big Bend region, citing potential irreparable harm and public interest concerns. The project, part of a $46 billion border infrastructure effort, faces opposition from environmental groups and local stakeholders arguing regulatory waivers bypass laws protecting the region's environment and heritage.
