On Friday, the DHS said it would be cancelling the projects in the Laredo Sector of the southern border, which would have stretched for about 31 miles.<\/p>\n<p>This falling in line with Joe Biden\u2019s goal of cancelling all Trump-era border wall construction. Just last month, the White House announced its plans to return over $2 billion in funds originally set aside for the border wall under the Trump administration, to work on other military projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDHS continues to review all other paused border barrier projects and is in the process of determining which projects may be necessary to address life, safety, environmental, or other remediation requirements and where to conduct environmental planning,\u201d said the department.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2466809\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2466809\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2466809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/walle.jpg\" alt=\"TOPSHOT - Border Patrol officers keep warch before U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen M.
