A federal judge has temporarily halted construction of a border wall along the Texas-Mexico border, intervening in a long-running legal dispute over the project’s legality and environmental impact. The ruling comes as part of broader litigation challenging the government’s authority to build the barrier without further review. Legal challenges continue as both sides prepare to argue over whether the wall’s construction complies with existing laws and court orders. The decision marks the latest twist in a contentious effort that has drawn scrutiny from environmental groups, landowners, and lawmakers.
