The DOD announced that the Pentagon will restore $2.2 billion to military construction projects that were stripped by the Trump administration to pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The money will go to 66 projects in 16 countries, 11 U.S. states, and three U.S. territories in fiscal 2021. Among those is $79 million for an elementary school for children of military personnel in Germany, $94 million for another such school in Japan, $50 million for a Marine Corps machine gun range in Guam, $10 million for a missile field expansion at Fort Greely, Alaska, as well as numerous other schools, hangars, housing, shops and facilities. The Biden administration in late April announced it would cancel border wall projects that had been funded through the DOD and return the funds to the military construction projects from which they were pulled during the Trump administration.

Judge Briones in El Paso, Texas issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against the president’s use of $3.6 billion in military construction funding for the border wall. The president’s proclamation that allowed the use of those funds violated congressional restrictions that limited border wall funding to $1.375 billion. This $3.6 billion was separate from the $2.5 billion in drug interdiction funding. The Supreme Court lifted the injunction against the $2.5 billion in July, meaning that the Trump administration can use those funds while litigation proceeds.

The president declared a state of emergency at the border in order to be able to transfer billions in military and pentagon funding to building the new border wall. On November 14, CBP acting Commissioner Morgan acknowledged that the 78 miles currently in construction has been replacing existing or “insufficient” barriers. The administration has just now started to break ground on building a wall where no barrier existed before. Morgan also acknowledged how acquiring private land for the border wall will continue to challenge the Trump administration.
