In May, the Government Settled a Lawsuit over a “Private” Border Wall in Texas. Now DHS Can Build a Wall Wherever it Wants, Says Marianna Treviño Wright
"...I phoned Treviño Wright to discuss the settlement, which allows the wall to remain standing. ... The Department of Homeland Security has been looking for some justification or some mechanism for waiving the IBWC treaty, since like 2005. And in testimony, the U.S. attorney and Fisher, when they were discussing settlement with Judge Crane, they made it clear that the DOJ and State Department were signing off on this settlement. Since the federal government started building the wall, it’s waived every federal law for construction. But they could not waive treaties or the Constitution. This effectively sets a precedent so that DHS can build a wall wherever it wants. And I believe they’re going to use this as they build the next 69 miles in Webb and Zapata counties that the Biden administration recently announced. There isn’t anything left to stand in their way."
