Supreme Court allows Trump's Texas border wall work to resume after 38 days

US President Donald Trump has a penchant for dreaming up big projects, from his long-promised wall along the US-Mexico border to sweeping plans for reshaping federal buildings and public spaces. But one of his most ambitious border-security projects has run into a legal battle over its impact on one of America's most striking natural landscapes. On November 9, the US Supreme Court cleared the way for his administration to resume construction in Texas's Big Bend region, just 38 days after a federal judge ordered work to stop over concerns that the government had exceeded its authority to bypass environmental laws, as per a report by CBS News.The ruling allows construction of border barriers and related infrastructure across the Big Bend sector, which covers more than 500 miles of the US-Mexico border and includes Big Bend National Park.
