The Biden administration will waive 26 federal laws to allow several miles of new border wall construction in South Texas, leading former President Donald Trump to argue that his signature policy was correct all along.
The Department of Homeland Security posted the announcement on the US Federal Registry on Wednesday, allowing the construction in Starr County, Texas, part of a busy Border Patrol sector seeing 'high illegal entry.'
'There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas,' DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated in the notice.
The decision contrasts with President Joe Biden's prior posturing against border barriers, including in a proclamation on the first day of his term that stated, 'building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution.'
Trump, whose Republican administration created about 450 new miles of border barriers, responded to the announcement by telling Fox News Digital that the Biden administration needs to 'go back to Trump policies.'
