President Biden, on Day One, Terminated Trump's “National Emergency” as an Excuse to Build his Border Wall.

The Order should have Halted Construction “as soon as possible but in no case later than seven days” while his Administration Reassessed the Legality of the Project.

Biden last week then Informed Congress of the Termination, telling Leaders that he had “determined that the declaration of a national emergency at our southern border was unwarranted. It shall be the policy of my administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall,” Biden’s Proclamation said. “I am also directing a careful review of all resources appropriated or redirected to construct a southern border wall.”

But weeks after Biden Ordered that Pause to Wall Construction at the Southern Border, Environmental Advocates have Discovered what appears to be Bulldozers continuing to Level through a Mountain and Critical Wildlife Habitat in Arizona, “in an apparent violation of President Biden’s proclamation halting border wall construction,” Center for Biological Diversity said.

“ALERT: Contractors are still hard at work building Trump's #BorderWall,” tweeted Laiken Jordahl, a Borderlands Campaigner with the Center. In the One Minute and Eighteen Second Clip he shared on Twitter, at least Two Bulldozers and an Excavator can be seen Tearing into the Pajarito Mountains in Arizona. “They're leveling mountains & destroying jaguar habitat in an apparent violation of Biden's order to halt construction,” he said. “@POTUS must investigate & stop this madness for good. Footage shot by Tucson Samaritans.”

Advocates said that it appears that Not only are Construction Crews continuing with Building in Violation of the President’s Order, they are continuing to Tear into the Habitat at Detriment to Precious Wildlife in the Region.

“This section of wall, west of Nogales, is a part of a larger 74-mile stretch being built through remote, mountainous terrain that includes the last remaining corridors jaguars use to move back and forth between the United States and Mexico,” the Center for Biological Diversity said. “Many other animals use these remote areas to migrate across the landscape. A 2017 Center report identified 93 threatened and endangered species along the 2,000-mile border that would be harmed by Trump’s wall.”

“A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesperson did not confirm or deny the report, but said the agency remains fully committed to implementing President Biden’s immigration and border security-related executive actions,” Arizona Public Media reported.

Advocates say that President Biden must Not Only Ensure that All Construction Ends now, but that the Federal Government use its Authority and Cancel the Contracts as soon as possible.

“These alarming videos seem to show construction crews destroying every acre of pristine wildlands they can lay their hands on, in what appears to be blatant disregard of Biden’s order halting construction,” said Jordahl. “The Biden administration should investigate this immediately and stop any construction that’s still occurring. Pausing work on the wall isn’t enough. The new administration must cancel these contracts for good and work with border communities and tribal nations to repair all that Trump destroyed.”
