得克萨斯州边境小镇普雷西迪奥已向联邦法院提起诉讼，质疑特朗普政府的边境墙建设计划[1]。这个人口约3200人的小镇担心，拟议的墙体设计可能破坏当地堤防系统的防洪功能并违反相关法律[1]。
国土安全部正在推进一项投资总额高达46亿美元的边境墙项目[1]。根据规划，钢制墙体将采用30英尺高的钢栏板，安装在现有堤防混凝土墙顶部[1]。这段边境地段总长2000英里[1]。
美国国务院律师透露，施工可能最早在8月晚期、9月或10月开始[1]。海关和边境保护局负责人罗德尼·斯科特表示，该机构每周能完成6英里的墙体建设[1]。国土安全部部长马克韦恩·穆林在6月的国会证词中称，初步堤防层将在"明年此时"竣工[1]。
联邦法官雷吉·沃尔顿将在未来一周就此案做出裁决[1]。除普雷西迪奥外，该项目还面临来自当地居民、环保组织和原住民部落的反对[1]。
Presidio, a community of approximately 3,200 residents in Texas, has taken its fight against the Trump administration's border wall project to federal court [1]. The town contends that the proposed wall design could compromise the functionality of its existing levee flood protection system and violate applicable laws [1].
The Department of Homeland Security is advancing a $4.6 billion border wall initiative across a 2,000-mile stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border [1]. The project has drawn opposition from local residents, environmental organizations, and Native American tribes [1].
The proposed wall structure calls for 30-foot steel barrier panels to be installed atop the existing concrete levee wall [1]. According to State Department lawyers, construction could begin in late August, September, or October [1]. Rodney Scott, head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, stated that the agency completes six miles of wall construction weekly [1]. Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullin testified to Congress in June that the initial levee layer would be completed "by this time next year" [1].
Federal Judge Reggie Walton indicated he would issue a ruling within the coming week [1].
