AP reported that the Trump administration had begun work on a southern Arizona border wall project along part of the Tohono O'odham reservation despite tribal protests, and that CBP defended the wall as needed for a dangerous smuggling corridor.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Within the lookback window, construction was still moving ahead despite Ruiz's requested suspension, so the agency-policy result remains unresolved even though Ruiz fulfilled the narrower commitment to urge action.

The promise was framed as an action by Ruiz to urge DHS and Interior to suspend secondary border wall construction until tribal consultation and congressional accounting occurred, not as a promise that the agencies would actually halt construction. The provided House release shows Ruiz joined the congressional call doing exactly that during his current federal House term. Later reporting that construction continued affects the policy result, but not fulfillment of the narrower promised act of urging the agencies.
