Construction on a border project in Big Bend National Park has been temporarily paused. The pause is in effect while the head of the agency responsible for building the wall conducts an evaluation. The project has faced opposition from critics who argue it harms the environment.

They also point out that the area's terrain already deters migrants and smugglers, and border crossings have been low. Further details on the pause and the project are available from the source. The evaluation is expected to provide more insight into the project's status and potential next steps.
