A federal judge has temporarily halted border-wall construction across Texas’ Big Bend region, including its national and state parks, finding that opponents are likely to prevail on at least one claim and could suffer irreparable harm. The ruling gives landowners, residents and environmental groups opposing the $7.5 billion project time to challenge the administration’s legal waivers, while the administration argues the barrier is needed to secure the border.
