Donald Trump’s dream project hits a massive roadblock, and his own team can’t agree on who’s responsible

President Donald Trump‘s border wall project might be facing a major delay, and officials say the problem is coming from the Department of Homeland Security. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is being blamed for the holdup because she requires personal approval for every major contract. This policy is reportedly stalling nearly 200 miles of important construction work.

According to The Washington Examiner, a Customs and Border Protection memo shows the scale of the issue. Contracts for 102 miles of new wall, over 90 miles of barriers along the Rio Grande, and two miles of fencing are ready to move forward. However, these deals are waiting for the Secretary’s approval before they can be officially awarded.
