Trump Builds the Wall The Trump administration is rapidly advancing the construction of a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, a promise made over a decade ago. The project, significantly boosted by the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” now features a “smart wall” incorporating detection technology, cameras, lighting, and roads. Construction crews are reportedly erecting five miles of wall per week, adding barriers and secondary walls in key border states.

• Construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall is accelerating under the Trump administration.
• The project, previously slow and halted, is now a priority in Trump’s second term.
• The “smart wall” initiative includes basic structures along with detection technology, cameras, lighting, and roads.
• Significant portions of primary, replacement, and secondary walls are under construction or in the design phase.
• Crews are reportedly building five miles of wall per week, expanding barriers in Texas and installing second walls in California, Arizona, and New Mexico.
• The border wall was a central promise of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and faced strong opposition from Democrats.
