Over the weekend, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem used her Twitter/X account to announce the construction of seven new miles of border wall in Arizona.
This is a great reminder for Americans that Trump has not forgotten about the border wall, and neither have members of his team.
RedState transcribed the video below, in which Noem says:
Everybody up here in Arizona and right at this spot, you can see where the border wall ends. As of today, we’re starting seven new miles of construction; we’re going to continue to make America safe again.
Watch:
Announcing today – we’re building 7 more miles of wall.

FOX News reported on this:
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced the building of seven miles of new border wall in Arizona as part of the administration’s efforts to “make America safe again.”
Noem’s announcement, coming in a short video posted to her X account, marks the beginning of additional border wall construction along the southern border during the second Trump administration. The DHS said in a press release Friday that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) had awarded the first contract of President Donald Trump’s second term to Granite Construction Co. for more than $70 million, which will result in seven miles of new border wall in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, according to Noem’s announcement…
Trump’s predecessor, former President Joe Biden, moved on his first day in office to halt all border wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border. In late 2023, construction on roughly 20 miles of border barriers in South Texas was allowed to commence under Biden, since the money had already been appropriated by Congress during Trump’s first administration.
Americans should never forget that stopping construction of the border wall was one of Biden’s first acts on his first day. That should have been a warning about what was coming for the next four years.
