Supreme Court lifts lower court injunction blocking border wall construction in Big Bend region of Texas

The Supreme Court on Monday granted the Trump administration's emergency request to lift a district court injunction that had paused border wall and road construction in the Big Bend sector of West Texas, including within Big Bend National Park. The unsigned per curiam ruling found the government's border security interests outweighed the environmental and recreational harms alleged by challengers. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, saying she would have denied the request.
