A federal judge ruled that the Biden administration cannot sell materials intended for the border wall and cannot use funds allocated for construction for other purposes.
A federal judge in Texas has ruled that the Biden administration cannot sell any materials intended for the border wall and cannot assign funds that Congress dedicated to border wall construction for any other purposes. This ruling follows complaints from both Attorneys General after screenshots of the government surplus website GovPlanet showed wall materials up for auction starting at five dollars.
An official said that the materials were divided up, with 60% going to authorized recipients like Texas, California, or U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The other 40% was sold to GovPlanet back in June, so the pieces that were up for auction no longer belong to the government. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick originally planned to buy the materials and donate them to the incoming Trump administration, but later announced that they were 'covered in concrete in rust' and 'mostly junk'. The latest ruling doesn't significantly affect the pieces originally listed for auction, as Patrick shared a text he sent to President-elect Trump on X, saying Texas is in talks with the auctioneer about holding those pieces until after the inauguration. President-elect Trump celebrated this on his Truth social site: In a major, crucial WIN for America, and our National Security, a Federal Judge in Texas, based on papers we filed just a few days ago, has PROHIBITED the Biden Administration from selling any materials designated for the Border Wall
