Extra U.S. attorneys are in Laredo to try to secure land for wall construction that could continue after President Trump leaves office.
As the Trump administration winds down, it s making last-minute efforts to secure land for border-wall construction in South Texas.
In Laredo, in particular, there s been a flurry of legal activity lately, says Texas Monthly Senior Editor Peter Holley. He told Texas Standard that the Trump administration has sent extra U.S. attorneys to Laredo to try to secure private land for wall construction from landowners who ve sued to prevent that from happening. It s a fight down to the wire he says, since President-elect Joe Biden takes office in less than two months.
