Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has quietly approved massive border wall construction contracts for a Texas firm with a highly controversial past. SLSCO Ltd has secured deals worth $1 billion to build new sections of the barrier in Del Rio and Laredo, Texas.
These lucrative agreements were finalised shortly before Noem's anticipated departure from office at the end of this month. However, court documents reveal that the company previously faced severe allegations of smuggling undocumented migrants to work on their sites and providing them with firearms.
