The Biden-Harris administration has been forced to stop selling materials intended for the border wall, following a court order that underscores a significant legal victory for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The decision marks another setback for the outgoing administration, which had been auctioning off surplus border wall materials since halting construction in 2021.
The legal battle comes as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to resume office, vowing to reinstate stricter immigration measures, including completing the controversial wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Paxton announced the halt to the sell-off, celebrating it as a win for border security and a blow to what he described as an effort by the Biden administration to sabotage Trump’s immigration agenda.
“We have successfully blocked the Biden-Harris Administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President Trump takes office,” Paxton declared. “This follows our major victory forcing Biden to build the wall, and we will hold his Administration accountable for illegally subverting our Nation’s border security until their very last day in power.”
The decision enforces a 30-day freeze on the sale of materials, giving the incoming Trump administration the opportunity to use them for continued construction efforts.
The border wall, a flagship project of Trump’s first term, saw 450 miles completed before the Biden administration took office in 2021. Biden quickly halted construction, redirecting funding and initiating the auction of unused materials. These auctions, managed through platforms like GovPlanet.com, included steel bollards and concrete panels that critics argue could have been repurposed to complete the wall.
Video footage of unused wall components sitting idle or being transported for sale sparked outrage among conservatives and border security advocates. The materials were often sold at discounted rates, prompting Trump to label the auctions as “almost a criminal act.”
“They know we’re going to use it, and if we don’t have it, we’ll have to rebuild it, costing taxpayers double,” Trump said. “It’s hundreds of millions of dollars wasted.”
Paxton’s legal victory is part of a broader push by Texas to address illegal immigration and bolster border security. The state has consistently been at the forefront of legal challenges against Biden’s immigration policies, accusing the administration of neglecting national security.
The sale of border wall materials was seen as a direct affront to Trump’s plans to reinstate construction. Arizona officials confirmed that auctions occurred weekly, with materials sold at rates far below their original value.
The Biden administration’s actions drew sharp criticism, not only for the financial implications but also for the perception that they were actively undermining future border security efforts.
While Republicans argue that the wall is crucial for curbing illegal immigration, Democrats have long criticized the project as ineffective and divisive. Opponents suggest that resources would be better spent on technological solutions, improved immigration policies, and addressing root causes of migration.
Critics also highlight the wall’s symbolism, describing it as a xenophobic gesture rather than a practical solution to border challenges. These contrasting views have fueled the ongoing debate over immigration reform in the U.S.
The 30-day pause on the disposal of border wall materials is more than a legal victory for Paxton—it’s a significant shift in the ongoing battle over U.S. border policy. It ensures that some materials remain available for use by the incoming administration, potentially saving taxpayers millions in reconstruction costs.
Paxton warned that any further disposal of materials by the Biden administration would violate the court order, leading to potential sanctions and contempt charges.
As Trump prepares to take office, the fate of the border wall remains uncertain. While the court order halts the sell-off, it doesn’t guarantee the full resumption of construction. Trump’s renewed immigration agenda will likely face fierce resistance from Democrats and legal challenges in the months ahead.
For now, the halt offers a symbolic and practical win for border security advocates. It provides a critical window for the incoming administration to reassess the project and determine how best to move forward.
Whether Trump can deliver on his promise to complete the wall depends on the political and legal battles that lie ahead. What is clear, however, is that the fight over America’s southern border will remain a defining issue in the nation’s political landscape.
Hey Biden, you useless Fuc*ing piss poor excuse of a human being, you pedophile prick, I hope you die of an aneurism, heart attack or a blood clot to the brain and suffer until you are brought before the Gates of Hell.
Meanwhile every penny and physical asset of Biden’s (hundreds of $Millions on record not counting the hidden in foreign accounts) should be seized and otherwise confiscated to correct the financial loss to the American People that this Satanic Monster who will spend eternity in hell; that he has directly caused with all of his executive actions many of which were directed at the Border Wall and all other Illegal Immigration concerns, that he actually perpetuated and advanced to ruin our Country!
The Illegitimate fake asshole in Crimes Joe Biden has taken 570 days of vacations, and the American Citizens paid for it.! How does that make you feel America, almost 2-years out of office and we paid for it all.!
A report showed that the Communist Democrats lost over $6-billion taxpayers money and the Pentagon lost $2-Billion taxpayers money plus the Communist POS Gavin Newscum lost $6-Billion taxpayers money..
That’s not at all possible America.!
So where’s the money Commie Democrats.?
Being a Communist Democrat and Rino means they have a license to Steal..
And shithead Joe Biden has been stealing Classified Documents since the 1970’s making him Rich after selling them to the CCP..
So before you start feeling sorry for that Son Of A Bitch, America, you must remember he’s always been a liar and a thief and selling out America for decades.!
Stealing Classified documents during his VP days and selling them, how else do you suppose he’s so much pro Communist China, and very rich.!
The list goes on and on…
While nothing has ever happened as far as investigations, arrest and conviction, that mother fuc* ers plan has been to destroy America since the 1970’s.
Absolutely and his evil son said the “quiet part out loud” while he did many deals with the CCP; saying the “Big Guy” in the course of the scams; gets “his cut” of the kickbacks!
The horrible truth is that Biden with others should have been executed decades ago, and if he had, there wouldn’t have been any evil Obama with all of the subsequent destruction of America since!
Time for some to pay the piper now; and it had better be these bad guys!
May God forgive Joe Biden for his actions as president since it is obvious that he didn’t know what he was doing. No one in their right mind would favor abortion like he has.
Claiming to be Catholic he did not act like one.
Sorry to have to say that we’ve had such a wicked man for our president and v.p.; he did know and did it willingly just like going along with the whole scam to install him as president and all the decades of high crimes he committed knowingly! He is not a Catholic but is a very dark evil man; a total fraud!
To my mind, there needs to be an immediate investigation into who authorized the sale of taxpayer purchased wall material and I don’t mean by any bureaucratic agency or even the FBI. Xiden isn’t capable of making that decision. Then, that individual or group of individuals should be arrested, charged and brought into open court, preferably televised, to answer for their actions against the American taxpayer. They should then be required to repay the taxpayer for the monies received from the sale personally. Unfortunately, this would happen in a perfect world so I doubt that what should happen will actually happen. “Walls make good neighbors” is a truth that has historically been proven correct over the centuries.
It’s horrible to admit that we have many traitors at work within our government in high places of authority and Biden is only one of them mainly as a tip of the spear! They all deserve rapid trials and execution including Biden and Obama, Clinton, Rice, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Holder, Miley, Soros and so on! So that would be proper justice and go a long way in helping America climb back out of the deep pit it’s been in for decades and on up into the light of the glory and righteousness again; it once held and deserved!
Right now America is looking back over those decades as having been to the rest of the world, especially the past four years; a very corrupt country!
Why don’t they put this gay Obama and his gay man-woman wife Michael and the braindead Biden and the street wh=re Harris on the other side of the wall???
Fine with me! Reap what they sow!
Biden Harris and democrats your f-ckin destroyed America in less than 3 years how much money did f-ckin China pay you for your treasonous accomplishments and how much kick pack is Ukraine giving you for all the billions of dollars you been given them. You and your entire administration needs to be held accountable for their corruption and fraud conspiracy actions.

We will call ICE every time we see gangs of illegals America and Americans are stand tall on this and its democrats fault this happened your the ones holding the bag and a lot of you are going to prison for sure. This government is so corrupt the sh-t going to explode the cesspool scumbags swamp. Americans are pissed and we are going to fight this time
Walter Cronkite many years back would say “that’s the way it is,” on closing the show. Paul Harvey had a show named “The Rest of the Story.”
So in tribute to a couple of news men that “really were the real deal” and “told it like it is” when there was “so much more integrity and common decency around” when “our system wasn’t so ugly and corrupted;” lets read what Paul Harvey said that was in essence a “premonition” as I see it because it’s happening right now!
PAUL HARVEY’S ‘IF I WERE THE DEVIL’ TRANSCRIPT – 1965 ~
“If I were the devil … If I were the Prince of Darkness, I’d want to engulf the whole world in darkness. And I’d have a third of its real estate, and four-fifths of its population, but I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree — Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first — I’d begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: ‘Do as you please.
To the young, I would whisper that ‘The Bible is a myth.’ I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what’s bad is good, and what’s good is ‘square.’ And the old, I would teach to pray, after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington…
And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.
If I were the devil I’d soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames. If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, but neglect to discipline emotions — just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.
Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography — soon I could evict God from the courthouse, then from the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.
If I were the devil I’d take from those who have, and give to those who want until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious.
And what do you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I would caution against extremes and hard work in Patriotism, in moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging is more fun, that what you see on the TV is the way to be. And thus, I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were the devil I’d just keep right on doing what he’s doing.”
Paul Harvey, good day.
Any of you waking up?
How much more ice cold water in ya faces do you need!
