Days into the new Trump term, new border wall is already going up in NM

Just days after President Donald J. Trump took office for his second term, the border barrier, which had previously been constructed but stopped under Joe Biden, resumed south of Deming, New Mexico.

With accompanying photos, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael W. Banks wrote on X, “USBP actively strengthens border security by refining strategies to deliver effective impedance and denial capabilities, addressing illegal cross-border activity head-on.”

“Efforts like installing wall panels to fill critical gaps in Deming, New Mexico, exemplify our commitment to enhancing infrastructure and operational effectiveness. Agents drive these solutions by leveraging advanced technology and their ingenuity to adapt to evolving challenges, ensuring a more secure and managed border,” he continued. 

Biden let the building materials intended to finish the border barrier sit idly while millions of criminal aliens entered the country illegally due to the lack of security in key areas across the border — specifically in New Mexico. 

President Trump’s team quoted the X post writing, “The border wall is being built again — and it hasn’t even been a week since President Trump took office. PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT!” 

Under President Trump’s leadership in this new term, thousands of criminal aliens are being apprehended and deported back to their countries of origin after the previous regime allowed them to run roughshod over communities, including violent gangs taking over apartment complexes and neighborhoods. 

New Mexico’s Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Democrat-dominated legislature have refused to take any border action, instead blaming the issue on the federal government and not appropriating money or resources to assist with the border catastrophe, despite pleas from Republican leaders to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis.
