Disinformation.. Bottom line Pres Biden has earned my trust..

And, enemies of Democracy will Lash on to anything to bring him down.

"Reversal" is absolutely false. Fact: Congress is forcing us to do this under a 2019 law.

........In addition, DHS authorized CBP to move forward with the Yuma Andrade and El Centro Calexico Fence Replacement Projects to mitigate immediate life, safety and operational risks to the local community, migrants, and Border Patrol agents in the area. Both projects will replace dilapidated segments of legacy fencing that presently create safety and security concerns for USBP agents, migrants, and the surrounding community. These replacement projects, similar to previously approved projects, prioritizes the completion of activities and projects needed to address life, safety and operational risks - including the safety and security of individuals, Border Patrol agents, migrants, and nearby communities.

Prior to the start of any work, DHS will work closely with stakeholders, including impacted landowners, tribal, state, and local elected officials, and federal agencies. DHS remains committed to the protection of the environment and will conduct environmental surveys, analyze the potential for environmental impacts from the implementation of the projects, and develop measures that avoid or minimize impacts to the greatest extent possible.
