A lawsuit has been filed to stop the Trump administration's plans for a wall and other border infrastructure. The lawsuit was filed by a nonprofit organization and six landowners, with the support of dozens more people. The plans are part of a $46 billion effort to secure the southern border with steel bollard walls, vehicle barriers, and technology.
The effort aims to keep out smugglers and migrants along the roughly 2,000-mile border. In Texas, the plans have faced numerous lawsuits and opposition from various groups. Further details about the lawsuit and the plans are available from the source.
