Judge Rules Private Texas Company's Planned Border Wall Can Proceed

[AmGreatness] According to Fox News, “a federal judge lifted a temporary restraining order against a project to build a privately funded border wall next to the Rio Grande.” The judge also denied a separate request for a restraining order in a separate lawsuit filed by the National Butterfly Center against the builders.

Fisher Industries, a construction firm based in North Dakota, is funding the project which is estimated to cost about $42 million.

The project was originally announced by We Build the Wall, a Florida-based nonprofit founded in December 2018, when Trump demanded $5 billion in wall funding from Democrats in Congress. When Democrats refused, the resulting standoff led to the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

#2 ^Sorry, McAllen has always been in the southern Rio Grande valley, what’s commonly called simply “the Valley “ around here. I can’t believe the Plaintiffs in the case actually argued that the wall could change the course of the Rio Grande. Losers.
