A federal judge lets DHS proceed with a border wall through a small Texas town’s levee system

A federal judge let the Department of Homeland Security move ahead with building a border wall through the levee system protecting Presidio, Texas.
Local officials warn the wall could increase flood risk and damage environmental and cultural sites; their attempt to pause construction was denied.
The Trump administration is pushing rapid construction and has waived many environmental and historic protections, prompting more lawsuits and criticism.
