More bad news for the Biden administration.
They’ve been blocked from selling border wall materials for the next 30 days.
Sorry, this is all going to President Donald Trump.
Texas AG Ken Paxton celebrated the win, calling out Biden’s “illegal subversion” of border security.
This comes after accusations that Biden’s team was selling wall parts despite being legally obligated to build it.
Paxton also secured documentation to confirm no materials were sneakily disposed of.
No bit of that wall is slipping through the cracks.
The Hill reports:
The Biden administration has been blocked from getting rid of any border wall materials over the next 30 days, passing the materials on for President-elect Trump to use as he chooses, according to a press release from the Texas attorney general office.
“We have successfully blocked the Biden Administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President Trump takes office,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in the release issued Friday.
“This follows our major victory forcing Biden to build the wall, and we will hold his Administration accountable for illegally subverting our Nation’s border security until their very last day in power, especially where their actions are clearly motivated by a desire to thwart President-elect Trump’s immigration agenda,” he added in the release.
The order followed a hearing requested by Paxton over reports that the Biden administration was selling parts of the border wall. Last week, Trump asked a court in the Southern District of Texas to intervene in alleged sales of border wall materials, accusing the Biden administration of selling off the materials after it was required to do so by Congress.
According to the release, Texas is also entitled to documentation that proves that the Biden administration has not disposed of border wall materials, which would violate an injunction from Paxton earlier this year that required the Biden Administration to spend statutorily obligated funds on building the wall.
Good thing this got spreading on social media.
HOLY SHLIT
Biden is selling half-a-mile worth of wall materials EACH DAY for as little as FIVE *DOLLARS* per section, rushing to sell EVERYTHING before Trump gets in

They thought they’d get away with it.
Nope.
But thanks for playing and helping to wake up more people.
A Texas judge ruled that the Biden administration could no longer sell off border wall materials before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, a move Trump called a “major, crucial win for America.” More: https://t.co/2HZ0OSj5Uv pic.twitter.com/kEELQAl33P
