The Supreme Court has cleared the way for border wall construction to resume in Texas's Big Bend region.
Richmond Petersburg, VA, November 9, 2026 — The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a decision that permits the resumption of border wall construction in the Big Bend region of Texas.

Similarly, details about the contractors involved in the project or the permits required for this construction were not specified.
