The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Friday it canceled two contracts to construct 31 miles of border wall in the Laredo, Texas, immigration sector along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Homeland Security claimed that the two canceled border barrier contracts “are not necessary to address any life, safety, environmental, or other remediation requirements.” The funding for those contracts was previously funded with the agency’s 2020 fiscal year appropriations, a news release from the agency said.
