The Biden administration has agreed to stop selling off materials intended for border wall construction, granting President-elect Trump access to these resources. This decision comes after a court order and pressure from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who asserts that the Biden administration's actions undermine border security.
The Biden administration on Friday said it would stop selling off materials slated to be used to build a border wall ahead of the incoming Trump administration, which has promised to bring back tougher efforts to combat illegal immigration.
The Biden administration confirmed to a court that it will agree to a court order preventing it from disposing of any further border wall materials over the next 30 days, allowing President-elect Trump to use those materials, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said. The Biden administration has been auctioning off border wall parts since at least 2023, with parts listed for sale on auction marketplaces, after it abruptly shut down most border wall construction in 2021.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Trump's representatives. 'We have successfully blocked the Biden Administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President Trump takes office,' Paxton said. 'This follows our major victory forcing Biden to build the wall, and we will hold his Administration accountable for illegally subverting our Nation’s border security until their very last day in power, especially where their actions are clearly motivated by a desire to thwart President-elect Trump’s immigration agenda,' he added.

In a news release, Paxton's office said that if the Biden administration disposes of border wall materials purchased with funds subject to an injunction in violation of a court order, 'it would constitute unethical and sanctionable conduct and officials could be held in contempt of court.' Texas has said it intends to do all it can to help the incoming administration build the wall at the southern border when Trump enters office
