Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott says CBP is pausing construction activity in Big Bend National Park. In a social media video posted Monday, Scott says he “put a pause on all activity in that park,” describing the action as a response to growing pushback over efforts related to erecting a border barrier.
Both outlets report the pause follows legal and political challenges. ABC News frames the decision in the context of lawsuits tied to the border wall, while The Hill adds that Scott says the project faces bipartisan opposition. The reporting indicates CBP has halted work in the park while the dispute continues, without detailing the specific scope of what was stopped or the timing for possible resumption.
Overall, the outlets agree on the central point: CBP pauses construction in Big Bend National Park, and the commissioner links the decision to backlash that includes litigation and bipartisan criticism.
