US/Mexico Border Wall Progress

Huge increase in the number of miles completed this past week of 90.2 additional miles completed.

Update 12/19/25: Looks like that was a typo on the part of CBP.gov.  

Texas Border Wall – Under Trump (2025 – )

Added two dates to the timeline:

• 07/03/25: Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals rules 2-1 to uphold the injunction against enforcing SB4.
  
  
• 08/29/25: Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agrees to rehear En Banc on Texas SB4 (2023) ref

Reminder: news on this page will be slower during Trump's 2nd term as Border Wall updates will primarily be handled by the Trump administration.  

US/Mexico Border Wall Progress

After nearly 5 years, I hope to start up regular updates on U.S. Mexico Border Wall Progress now that information is beginning to be released regularly and construction has started up again with Trump as president again.  Apparently, the CBP Smart Wall Map was first published on or around 10/10/25.

Texas Border Wall – Under Trump (2025 – ) will be redesigned somewhat as US/Mexico border wall construction will mostly be handled by US CBP.  I will try to update the page with timeline events that mostly include legal issues and other relevant information, although, updates are likely to be less frequent while Trump is in office.

Update 11/22/25: US/Mexico Border Wall Progress just had its first weekly update since its last one nearly 5 years ago.  

Hot Cases to watch part 3

Added the following to the Civil Rights Dept. v. Cathy's Creations case

• 08/26/25: After the California Supreme Court declined to hear the case, Becket Fund has appealed to the US Supreme Court.

I'm still awaiting news regarding Sweet Cakes by Melissa as it has been 22 months since oral arguments were heard by Oregon Court of Appeals on 1/30/24.  Other news that has been surprisingly lacking this year has been updates on border wall construction and Texas SB4 (2023) case.
