Texas lawmakers have stopped funding a border wall project four years after Republican Gov. Greg Abbott announced that the state would be the first to build its own barrier.
As it stands, only a small fraction of the Texas-Mexico border now has a wall. The decision to stop funding the project came in the last few hours of this year’s legislative session, The Texas Tribune reported. The future of the project remains uncertain, as Texas officials have suggested that the federal government could restart the project; however, it’s unclear whether this will actually occur.
