CBP has more than 100 miles of new border wall and waterborne barrier funded with prior year appropriations in various stages of planning and construction. These projects are located within... the Rio Grande Valley Sectors.

CBP says border-wall work in the Rio Grande Valley is still in planning and construction, which is inconsistent with the wall being completed.

Secretary Kristi Noem has signed a waiver to ensure the expeditious construction of approximately five miles of new 30-foot-tall border wall in Starr and Hidalgo Counties in the U.S. Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley Sector in Texas.

As of August 2025, CBP/DHS was still taking steps to build additional Rio Grande Valley wall segments, showing the wall was not yet complete.

The PATROL Act ensures that states like Texas have the legal authority to construct physical barriers—including walls, fences, and floating barriers—without interference from the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Cloud introduced legislation to facilitate border-barrier construction, which is concrete effort but not completion of the promised wall.

The promise was to complete the border wall, particularly in the Rio Grande Valley. The supplied CBP/DHS evidence shows that, as of August 26, 2025, Rio Grande Valley wall projects remained in planning or construction, including a new waiver for about five additional miles in Starr and Hidalgo Counties. That is incompatible with the promised outcome being delivered. Cloud did introduce the PATROL Act to facilitate border-barrier construction, which is a serious legislative effort, but it did not itself complete the wall.
