Judge temporarily blocks border wall construction in Big Bend, Texas

U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone issued an emergency injunction Friday barring the Trump administration from building border barriers or engaging in "construction or ground disturbing activities" in the Big Bend region of Texas, including Big Bend National Park. The administration had already paused construction there in August, with CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott saying he would meet local stakeholders. The project had drawn local opposition and environmental concerns.
