Federal Judge Halts Big Bend Border Wall

A federal judge has halted any further construction of a border barrier in the Big Bend region. The order blocks any "ground disturbing" activities in the region until the lawsuit plays out.

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone ruled that the plaintiffs were “likely to succeed on the merits of at least one of the claims in their lawsuit, and that there is a likelihood that they will suffer serious, irreparable harm without an injunction, and that the balance of the equities and the public interest weigh in their favor.”
