A pause on border construction has been extended until mid-September. This decision was made in court and is related to a project in Big Bend National Park. The project has been contentious, and the extension is welcomed by those challenging it.

Customs and Border Protection had already paused activity after the commissioner visited the park. The pause was initially set to expire, but the federal government has agreed to extend it.

Further details about the project and the pause are available, including the government's plans for the area and the events that led to the pause.
