A Settlement Has Been Reached in a Lawsuit Over a Private Border Wall in South Texas
The federal government and the builder of a controversial private border wall in South Texas have reached an agreement that will allow the wall to remain on the banks of the Rio Grande but require quarterly inspections by the company.
The settlement also calls for the destruction of sensitive information and reports produced by the federal government during the case, which has angered local environmentalists who want the public to know how vulnerable the structure could be to flooding.
