The acting secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security plans to visit McAllen on Thursday to "celebrate the historic completion of 400 miles of new border wall system under the Trump Administration," according to a news release from Border Patrol.

Acting Secretary Chad F. Wolf plans to hold a news conference with Mark Morgan, the acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection; Rodney Scott, the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol; and Brian Hastings, the chief patrol agent for the Rio Grande Valley Sector.

The news conference will take place at 10 a.m. Thursday (29 Oct).

FYI, no weekly Border Wall report was issued this last Monday (which was expected to be in the 380’s).

Looks like the Administration is rounding to 400 miles, for the closing arguments of the election.

If we will not have 400 miles complete on election Day itself, it likely would be done within just a few more days, so rounding it off is pretty reasonable (and inevitable).

We blew through the 300 mile threshold without a commemorative event, due to COVID, so the 400th mile deserves some reflection.

The promise was kept on the Border Wall, and it is making a big difference.

Figured something was up due to no report yesterday. We are so close to 400 miles its fine by me if President Trump uses that figure. Probably won’t hit 500 miles by year’s end, but certainly by Inauguration Day.
