Bellingcat reported that August 2026 satellite imagery showed more than five miles of new road construction in Big Bend National Park as part of a CBP Smart Wall installation involving roads, barriers, lighting, and cameras; it also reported that the project was paused earlier that week after local, political, and environmental pushback.
Assessments
Sessions promised to keep advancing America First policies including restoring the southern border wall. During his current House term, Congress enacted Public Law 119-21 with major FY2025 funding for CBP border infrastructure and wall-system construction, and recent reporting shows some wall-system construction activity. That is meaningful same-term progress aligned with the promise, but the evidence does not show that the southern border wall has been restored or completed, and some projects remain paused or unresolved. His campaign and office materials also show support and related border-security activity, but not full delivery of the wall-restoration outcome.
The promised outcome was not fully delivered: the southern border wall has not been restored or completed. However, during Sessions' current federal term, the Trump administration resumed wall construction and Congress enacted major border-wall funding in 2025, while Sessions publicly supported the wall and pursued related border-security work. That supports partial credit for advancing the policy in the same term, but not full delivery because the wall-restoration outcome remains incomplete and the evidence does not show Sessions personally authored or materially drove a completed wall-restoration measure.
The evidence shows Sessions publicly supported building or restoring the southern border wall and pursued some border-security legislative activity, including cited bills on tunnels and enforcement. However, it does not show that a southern border wall restoration project was enacted, funded, or completed as a result of his action. Because there was serious legislative or official effort on related border-security policy but the promised wall-restoration outcome was not delivered, this should be marked never with an effort badge.
