The Trump administration is transferring land in California, Arizona and New Mexico from the Interior Department to Defense to build about 70 miles of border wall
The Interior Department is transferring public lands to the Pentagon for construction of about 70 miles of border wall, in a move likely to ratchet up controversy over one of the Trump administration’s signature projects.
The action by Interior Secretary David Bernhardt moves jurisdiction over about 560 acres currently overseen by the Bureau of Land Management to the U.S. Army, which will use it to construct barriers the president has said will help secure the nation’s southern border against illegal migration.
