President Trump Reports Border Wall Auction Has Been Stopped
Conservative Treehouse ^ | December 25, 2024 | Sundance

Posted on 12/25/2024 5:52:25 PM PST by Macho MAGA Man

In a post on his Truth Social page, President Trump shared some information from Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick who is reporting that the border wall panels have been pulled from auction.

Last Thursday, President-elect Trump submitted an amicus brief supporting an injunction to prevent the Biden administration from proceeding with the sale of the materials, as well as calling for an investigation into the legality of the auction. Earlier that week, President Trump remarked that the sale was “almost a criminal act” given that it was happening shortly before he was set to return to the White House.

It appears the 8,000 panels will be available for use immediately after President Trump takes office on January 20, 2025.

I wonder how many feet/miles 8,000 panels will span? At this point, anything is good but more is better.

I don’t think this is Biden’s doing.
It’s got to be Mayorkas.

“I wonder how many feet/miles 8,000 panels will span?”

I believe that each panel is 8 feet wide, so about 64,000 feet, or a little over 12 miles worth.

Even if demolished, the panels are backed-up by border surveillance and apprehension.

Under Biden/Harris, Illegals could stream north through “checkpoints”.

I’d like to find out whichever one of Biden‘s monkeys decided to put this in motion, and go after him for something in order to ruin them. We really need destroy these people every chance we get

Exact length is not clearly stated anywhere I could find.
It seems they may be only 32” each.
So a little over 2,100 feet.
Many more need to be made ASAP.
Yep, creating JOBS in America.

In the photo provided in the article the panels look like they’re about 10 to 12 feet in length and probably 25 to 30 feet high

Again, that’s just my guesstimation off the photo so take it for what it’s worth

Trump Wall is what they call “Wall System”. The 30 foot tall standing bollard barrier topped with anti-climb plate is just one very visible component.

There is a deep concrete foundation to impede tunnelling, with embedded sensors to detect tunnelling below that, or saw attacks on the bollards. There is an all weather patrol road on the American side for rapid response, and a maintenance road/cleared field of observation on the Mexican side.

Layers of alarms, lights and surveillance systems are included, and their feeds are fused into the operator systems at Border Patrol Command Posts, so responders can zoom in and see immediately what triggered the alarms, and what they must be prepared to engage. There is also AI software constantly monitoring the feeds.

In high traffic urban areas, a double barrier is sometimes used, with “no man’s land” between them, that can be instrumented to detect footfalls.

The Trump wall specs were the whole dream sheet of everything the Border Patrol wanted.

The Biden Admin literally welded open flood gates (in areas subject to monsoon river flooding), and pulled back Border Patrol from those openings, or even tasked Border Patrol to collect and ferry the illegals entering through those gaps to collection points further inside the US, where they were aided in their onward movement into the country. I expect that that is going to change pretty quickly after Inauguration Day.

Working for local and county governments for the last 25 years, all government owned property had to be declared surplus by a vote of the elected body.

The feds don’t do this but somebody had to sign off on the sale

Trump has accomplished much before Jan 20th. However he has a long battle ahead to counter everything the obama/biden regime did to destroy the nation.
