The Trump administration plans a full U.S.-Mexico border wall, including Laredo, despite local opposition and legal limits.
The Trump administration plans to build a border wall along the entire U.S.-Mexico border, including in Laredo, Texas, according to Mayor Victor D. Treviño, who said city officials were informed during a meeting with federal agencies.
The move follows a $4.5 billion contract award for 230 miles of a "smart wall" with steel barriers, cameras, lights, and detection systems, though no contracts have yet been issued for Laredo.
The city, which has long opposed the barrier, faces limited legal recourse due to federal eminent domain powers and a $46 billion funding package.
In response, the City Council invited President Trump to play golf at a municipal course, while U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar criticized the wall as outdated, noting low border crossings and improved safety through law enforcement.
Environmental concerns and potential land seizures remain key issues.
