Trump administration asks Supreme Court to allow Big Bend wall construction
US President Donald Trump's administration is asking the US Supreme Court to let it build a border wall in the Big Bend area of Texas. A federal judge has already blocked the construction.
The administration of US President Donald Trump has turned to the US Supreme Court, the country's highest court, asking for approval to build a wall in the Big Bend area on the Texas-Mexico border. Al Jazeera reported the move on 22 October 2026.
A federal judge has blocked construction of the wall. That order came as part of an ongoing legal battle over the project.
The source gives no further details on the judge's reasoning, the planned length or cost of the wall, or when the Supreme Court might act. Only the confirmed basics are therefore reported here: the administration is seeking the high court's approval, while a lower-court ruling currently prevents the building work.
