A bill to prohibit the use of Federal funds to remove the border wall or to dispose of materials previously acquired by the Federal Government to construct the border wall.
S 5542 prohibits the use of federal funds to remove the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border or to sell/dispose of materials purchased for its construction. The bill specifically blocks funding for deconstructing any physical barrier segment or for auctioning, transferring, or disposing of government-acquired construction materials. This applies to all federal funds and directly affects federal agencies responsible for border infrastructure projects. The legislation focuses solely on restricting funding use, not on the border wall's purpose or policy merits.
