The family rents out some of the property, serving as a source of income for her siblings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Biden] did say, not one more foot. And then with this going on, with them taking possession, they can do whatever they want now,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible that the Biden administration plans to make good on some of the Trump administration\u2019s plans, particularly the plan to fill in the gaps between existing segments of the border wall, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/04\/06\/mayorkas-now-considering-filling-gaps-in-border-wall-report\/\">report from the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe White House is considering a return to construction of the southern border wall, in order to fill in \u2018gaps\u2019 made all the more glaring by the sudden immigration crisis,\u201d the outlet noted in March. \u2018Speaking to Immigration and Customs Enforcement staffers last week, according to notes from the meeting reviewed&nbsp;by the Washington Times, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Customs and Border Protection had submitted a plan to his department on what it wanted to see moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Biden froze funding for the wall, Mayorkas reportedly said, the executive order \u201cleaves room to make decisions as the administration, as part of the administration, in particular areas of the wall that need renovation, particular projects that need to be finished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Construction, Mayorkas said, \u201ccould resume in gaps, gates, and areas where the wall had been built but planned technology had not been installed,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The federal government won the right to take immediate possession of private land along the United States-Mexico border in order to continue construction of the border wall \u2014 and it &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2312225,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-1079.jpeg?w=1200&h=800&ixlib=react-9.0.3","fifu_image_alt":"Biden Admin Wins \u2018Immediate Possession\u2019 Of Private Land To Expand Border Wall","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-426908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-1079.jpeg?w=1200&h=800&ixlib=react-9.0.3","fifu_image_alt":"Biden Admin Wins \u2018Immediate Possession\u2019 Of Private Land To Expand Border Wall","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=426908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2312225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=426908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=426908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=426908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
