With hurricane season fast approaching, the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security has begun repair of large breaches in a 13-mile section of Rio Grande flood barriers in Texas caused by Trump administration border wall contractors building on them—after local officials feared "extensive problems" with their integrity and threatened to bring in their own crews.
Local media reports said when wall construction was suspended in January by the Biden administration, levees were left with giant cuts that had been made to drive heavy equipment through so the wall could be built on the river side, including at least four breaks in Hidalgo County.
