Texas landowners fight Trump's border wall in Big Bend, where a judge temporarily halted construction

Summary

A federal court in Texas issued a ruling on Friday 2 October temporarily blocking the Trump administration from building a border wall and other infrastructure across the state's Big Bend region, citing the likelihood of 'irreparable harm' and the 'public interest', according to PBS NewsHour and Fortune. The LA Times called it a major win for landowners, businesses and environmentalists in the region who have united to oppose the planned infrastructure projects, and Fortune noted that it came just weeks after the administration erected the first border wall panels in the Big Bend sector in mid-September. On 9 October, ABC News and The Philadelphia Inquirer reported how Texas landowners are fighting back as the administration pushes forward with a $46 billion border wall from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico, and Fortune reported that they are suing, protesting and refusing to give up land in Big Bend, forcing the Justice Department toward eminent-domain fights.
