The board of trustees for Laredo College and United Independent School District both voted this week to approve a resolution urging the incoming Biden administration to terminate the construction contracts for the border wall in the Laredo Sector. Both entities own land along the border that stands to be affected by the wall.
They now join the Webb County Commissioners Court, Zapata County Commissioners Court, Eagle Pass City Council and Texas Democratic Party in this initiative to stop the wall from coming to this stretch of the border before construction begins.
