US supreme court clears way for Trump’s border wall in Texas’s Big Bend

Ruling said law enacted by Congress reflects preference for border control over environmental and recreational harm

The US supreme court has allowed Donald Trump to continue his administration’s construction of a border wall in Texas’s Big Bend region, including parts of Big Bend national park.

In an unsigned, five-page ruling, the nation’s highest court granted the Trump administration’s emergency request to suspend a lower court order that had temporarily stopped the project last month.
