President Joe Biden promised to end all types of wall construction, and though these projects take place near the border, the DHS said the new projects will not involve expanding the current border barrier.
On his first day in office, Biden issued a proclamation terminating the redirection of funds for the border wall and pausing wall construction. In addition, in the $1.52 trillion discretionary funding request sent to the Senate’s Committee on Appropriations in April, Biden’s administration did not ask for any border wall construction funds and requested canceling unobligated, prior-year funding set aside for the wall.
