Over the weekend, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem used her Twitter/X account to announce the construction of seven new miles of border wall in Arizona.
This is a great reminder for Americans that Trump has not forgotten about the border wall, and neither have members of his team.
RedState transcribed the video below, in which Noem says:
Everybody up here in Arizona and right at this spot, you can see where the border wall ends. As of today, we’re starting seven new miles of construction; we’re going to continue to make America safe again

FOX News reported on this:
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced the building of seven miles of new border wall in Arizona as part of the administration’s efforts to “make America safe again.”
Noem’s announcement, coming in a short video posted to her X account, marks the beginning of additional border wall construction along the southern border during the second Trump administration. The DHS said in a press release Friday that U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) had awarded the first contract of President Donald Trump’s second term to Granite Construction Co. for more than $70 million, which will result in seven miles of new border wall in the Rio Grande Valley Sector, according to Noem’s announcement…
Trump’s predecessor, former President Joe Biden, moved on his first day in office to halt all border wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border. In late 2023, construction on roughly 20 miles of border barriers in South Texas was allowed to commence under Biden, since the money had already been appropriated by Congress during Trump’s first administration.
Americans should never forget that stopping construction of the border wall was one of Biden’s first acts on his first day. That should have been a warning about what was coming for the next four years.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced the building of seven miles of new border wall in Arizona as part of the administration’s efforts to “make America safe again.”
Noem’s announcement, coming in a short video posted to her X account, marks the beginning of additional border wall construction along the southern border during the second Trump administration.

“Everybody, I’m here in Arizona, and right at this spot, you can see where the border wall ends,” Noem said while standing along the border, donning a CBP hat and jacket. “As of today, we’re starting 7 new miles of construction, we’re going to continue to make America safe again.”
The new wall will be paid for via CBP’s Fiscal Year 2021 funds, per DHS.
Trump’s predecessor, former President Joe Biden, moved on his first day in office to halt all border wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border. In late 2023, construction on roughly 20 miles of border barriers in South Texas was allowed to commence under Biden, since the money had already been appropriated by Congress during Trump’s first administration.
Under Trump’s first term, approximately 458 miles of primary and secondary barriers were built, per CBP data. This included parts of the current wall that were dilapidated and needed to be replaced.
Vice President JD Vance said earlier this month during a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas that he was under the belief that Trump was hoping to build a wall across every mile of the southern border by the end of his term in 2029.
“I think the president’s hope is that by the end of the term we build the entire border wall,” the vice president told reporters during a press conference.
“And, of course, that’s the physical structure — the border wall itself — but we even heard today, there are so many good technological tools, so many great artificial intelligence-enabled technologies” that can also be used to secure the border, Vance added.
