The two border barrier contracts “are not necessary to address any life, safety, environmental, or other remediation requirements,” the Biden administration said
In a statement, DHS said the canceled wall contracts—originally planned to cover the Laredo sector of Texas spanning approximately 31 miles—were not necessary for any reason. The two border barrier contracts “are not necessary to address any life, safety, environmental, or other remediation requirements,” the statement read.
These are the first contracts to be canceled, but the move forwards the administration’s decision to cancel all contracts and complete the process of defunding the entire project. Biden began this effort byTricia Cortez, executive director of Rio Grande International Study Center, which advocates for environmental protection of the Rio Grande River, told thethat the canceled contracts add to the overall demise of Trump’s foolish enterprise.
”The people of Laredo stood their ground and we won,” Cortez said. “The cancellation of these two contracts is a huge nail in the coffin for this entire misguided project.”
