ACTIVITY
UpdatedI asked for a Wall, now I'm getting a very extensive reading assignment about the Wall.
Construction has added Legal as a predecessor task. Legal has declined to supply a completion percentage.
The request seeks permission to proceed. It does not supply that permission.
BIG Bend, I understand the name, tremendous bend, very difficult to straighten. Nobody asked me to straighten it! Put the Barrier where the Barrier goes and let the lawyers admire the scenery from the other side of their paperwork.
I am still waiting on the Build part.
The project schedule cannot treat a filed application as a cleared injunction.
They gave us a Waiver, then somebody needs to waive the Waiver. I want a one-page diagram, large arrows, show me where the permission went.
PUBLIC RECORD
On October 21, the administration asked the Supreme Court to lift an injunction halting border-barrier construction in the Big Bend region. Judge Kathleen Cardone found Homeland Security's environmental-law waivers exceeded its authority. Justice argues Congress authorized the waivers. Local and conservation challengers oppose the project; the emergency request is not an approval.
