President-elect Donald Trump called a federal judge’s order prohibiting the Biden administration from selling off any more border wall material a “crucial win for America.”
“In a major, crucial WIN for America, and our National Security, a Federal Judge in Texas, based on papers we filed just a few days ago, has PROHIBITED the Biden Administration from selling any materials designated for the Border Wall, that has been wrecked by Biden and his cronies, and which I am going to rebuild in order to protect our Country from violent migrant crime, fentanyl smuggling, sex trafficking, terror attacks, and other heinous, Nation ending disasters,” Trump said in a post on TruthSocial.
“The Judge has also ordered an investigation into the illegal selling of the materials, which will expose just how corrupt and anti-American Radical Democrats are. I am honored to be joined in this vital case by the Great States of Texas and Missouri and applaud Judge Drew Tipton for doing the right thing for our Country. We have to protect our Borders and Save America. MAGA!”
Trump last week filed an amicus brief in the Southern District of Texas to stop the Biden administration's "fire sales" of border-wall materials to private parties.
Congress last year required the Biden administration to dispose of the unused border wall pieces. The measure, included in the massive National Defense Authorization Act, allows for the sale or donation of the items to states on the southern border, providing they are used to refurbish existing barriers, not install new ones.
Trump called the sale "almost a criminal act."
