If you were around in 2016, then you will know President Trump campaigned on building a “big beautiful” border wall. However, because Congress did not pass spending bills, the wall was put on hold. Until now! U.S. Customs and Border Protection has announced that a border wall will be constructed in Texas at Big Bend National Park, which shares a 118-mile border with Mexico. Fox 7 Austin reported more on the big move: Large stretches of the U.S. southern border within Texas’ Big Bend National Park are now due to receive “primary border wall system,” some of which could start construction before the end of the year. The entire 517-mile stretch of the Big Bend Sector is set to receive some sort of border protection upgrade, U.S. Customs and Border Protection told FOX Local, and contracts for wall projects are expected to be awarded within weeks. In areas previously designated for “detection technology” in the park, primary border wall system is now in the “planned” phase, meaning it’s waiting to be awarded contracts for construction. The sections that pass through Big Bend are part of a 111.6-mile stretch of primary wall, which the CBP site refers to as “steel bollard wall.” That stretch is broken by some areas of border within the national park which are still designated as detection technology only. Those areas may be impacted by nothing more than cameras and lights, though the specifics are unclear. The CBP expects all border barrier contracts to be awarded by mid-2026, a spokesperson said in a Friday statement to FOX Local. Those awards may begin rolling in over the coming weeks and months, they said. Various phases of construction are anticipated to start toward the end of the year, CBP said, upon completion of land acquisition. FOX Local asked the CBP whether eminent domain will be exercised in acquiring land for the projects, but that answer was not included in the Friday statement. BREAKING: Sec. Kristi Noem just signed the final contract to purchase the remaining steel to complete the Southern Border Wall. pic.twitter.com/5eVpkuBvyS — The Patriot Oasis (@ThePatriotOasis) February 10, 2026 The Dallas Daily News reported that some parts of the new border wall will be a “smart wall”: A map published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed plans for construction of a “smart wall” that cuts through the national park and neighboring Big Bend Ranch State Park, as well as private ranch land. Officials in West Texas said the federal government has provided no details about its plan, but residents and business owners are vehemently opposed to a border wall. “Nobody wants a damn wall. It serves no purpose,” Pecos County Judge Joe Shuster said Thursday. “It would destroy the beauty of Big Bend National Park.” A spokesperson for Customs and Border Protection confirmed the wall could include any combination of physical barriers, technology and road improvements depending on the terrain and operational requirements. Contracts should be awarded in the coming weeks and months, with construction expected to begin by the end of this year. The agency said it will provide more details as they are available and work with stakeholders to minimize impacts “to the greatest extent practicable.” Construction of a new stretch of border wall is also occurring in Arizona.

This is quite messy. The U.S. Department of Labor Secretary’s husband has been officially banned from the DOL headquarters. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s husband was banned after two staffers at the DOL accused him of sexually assaulting them. The Hill provided further context on Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s husband being accused of sexual assault: The Department of Labor’s (DOL) headquarters banned Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s husband after two women employed by the department alleged that he sexually assaulted them, The New York Times reported Thursday. The staffers claimed that Dr. Shawn DeRemer touched them inappropriately inside the department building, with one of the incidents caught on security camera on Dec. 18, people familiar with the incident told the Times. The video shows DeRemer giving a woman an extended embrace, which was reviewed as part of a criminal investigation. Another person told the newspaper the incidents were brought up during the DOL’s Office of Inspector General’s investigation into alleged misconduct between Chavez-DeRemer and two of her top staffers. The Times obtained a Metropolitan Police Department report filed last month about forced sexual contact at the Labor Department building. The department’s sexual assault unit is investigating the incident. After DeRemer was barred from the building, a building restriction notice viewed by the Times read, “If Mr. DeRemer attempts to enter, he is to be asked to leave.” Here’s a photo of the couple: – Dr. Shawn DeRemer, husband of U.S. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, faces sexual assault accusations from two female staffers for inappropriate touching at the department’s Washington headquarters in December 2025, with one incident recorded on security cameras and now… pic.twitter.com/ATqrzWPbf3 — BANK OF TRUEST (@BANKOFTRUE5T) February 20, 2026 Politico reported Chavez-DeRemer’s offices were searched in an investigation into the claims: District of Columbia police searched Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s offices at the agency’s headquarters this month as part of its investigation of sexual assault allegations against her husband, Dr. Shawn DeRemer, according to three DOL officials. Employees who work in the secretary’s suite were ushered out of their offices temporarily Feb. 5, and Metropolitan Police Department personnel entered and looked around, according to the DOL officials, who were granted anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation. It is unclear what the police were searching for or how long they stayed, but it is unusual for a local police force to seek access to federal property, and especially rare for them search the office of a Cabinet official. In addition to the secretary’s own office, the suite also includes the work stations of a number of aides and advisers who report to her. “LCD knew MPD was here but not why,” said one of the officials, referring to Chavez-DeRemer by her initials. Trump’s decision to nominate Chavez-DeRemer was initially met with controversy. Read about it here: President Trump’s Pick for Labor Secretary Sparks Infighting

Former Vice President Mike Pence has shown his true colors again. As the WLT Report previously reported, the Supreme Court on Friday ruled, 6-3, that President Trump’s decision to use an emergency statute to implement tariffs was unlawful. In response to the Supreme Court’s decision, Mike Pence broke from the Trump administration and praised the ruling. Pence, in a post on X, shared that the Supreme Court ruled correctly, noting that the Constitution grants Congress, not the president, the power to tax. The Hill reported more in-depth on Pence’s remarks: Former Vice President Mike Pence (R) lauded the Supreme Court’s decision Friday to strike down many of the Trump administration’s tariffs. A 6-3 majority of the court’s justices ruled that President Trump unlawfully used an emergency statute to impose far-reaching tariffs on American trading partners. “In Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, our Supreme Court has reaffirmed that the Constitution grants Congress – not the President – the power to tax,” Pence posted on the social platform X. “American families and American businesses pay American tariffs – not foreign countries. With this decision, American families and businesses can breathe a sigh of relief.” Following his departure from the White House, Pence has become a regular critic of the president and his economic policies. Pence had previously warned of the risks these proposed policies could have on U.S. consumers and the economy. In an exclusive interview with The Hill after Trump’s tariff announcement last April, the former vice president called the move a “misstep.” “I don’t think the American people were voting for what would amount to the largest peacetime tax hike in American history, which, the tariffs that were announced last week, if left in place, would certainly be, and the hardship they’d place on working families and businesses large and small,” he said at the time.

With this historic decision, America can now return to the pursuit of Free Trade with Free Nations under the Constitution of the United States. Now, as a comparison, let’s look at how Vice President JD Vance reacted to the ruling: Today, the Supreme Court decided that Congress, despite giving the president the ability to “regulate imports”, didn’t actually mean it.

This is lawlessness from the Court, plain and simple. And its only effect will be to make it harder for the president to protect American industries and supply chain resiliency. President Trump has a wide range of other tariff powers and he will use them to defend American workers and advance this administration’s trade priorities. Thank goodness, Vice President JD Vance is now in office!

Finally, after almost three years, photos of the infamous bag of cocaine found at the White House during Joe Biden’s sham presidency have just been released to the public. Jesse Watters obtained and shared the photos first: EXCLUSIVE: Primetime just OBTAINED PHOTOS of the COCAINE found inside of the BIDEN WHITE HOUSE pic.twitter.com/eONnowUDUG — Jesse Watters (@JesseBWatters) February 21, 2026 Here’s a closer look at the photos: BREAKING: Photos of the cocaine discovered inside the Biden White House have now been released. pic.twitter.com/P9ii0gIeAr — The General (@GeneralMCNews) February 21, 2026 Recall that the Biden FBI tested the bag for DNA, but shut down the case after less than two weeks without any suspects. ABC News provided more background context: The bag of cocaine found inside the White House complex was found inside a cubby near an entrance to the West Wing commonly used to give tours and where visitors are instructed to place phones and other belongings, photos obtained by ABC News show. The photos show a small bag of cocaine inside of cubby #50, the photos show. The Secret Service closed its investigation on July 12 after it said it could not identify a suspect. The tours are by invitation only and normally led by a White House staffer. The Secret Service said hundreds of people had access to the area and that no security camera footage showed what happened. Congressional Republicans raised questions about that explanation, saying it raised security concerns. When the cocaine was found on July 2, the White House was briefly shut down, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were outside of Washington at the time the cocaine was found. Internal Secret Service emails also obtained in the FOIA show the FBI immediately took control of at the time was “white powder” for further testing at the FBI lab in Quanitco, Virginia. Funnily enough, shortly after the bag of cocaine was discovered, a rather…odd…video of Hunter went viral online. I’ll just drop this here: This video of Hunter Biden looking like he sniffed a bump of cocaine at the White House was taken w/in *days* of the Secret Service finding a bag of cocaine on the premises Today the Secret Service announced there are no suspects They think you’re stupidpic.twitter.com/Bt5hCT2ghf — DC_Draino (@DC_Draino) July 13, 2023 Though we all have our suspicions, there is still no official conclusion whose bag of cocaine it was. However, the FBI under Kash Patel has re-opened the investigation into the matter. Maybe we’ll get some closure soon!

In Maryland, Democrat Gov. Wes Moore has enacted a law to ban local law enforcement partnerships with ICE. But, it doesn’t seem to be going how he expected. The new law has nine sheriffs in the state absolutely furious! They say that they will defy the ban and continue cooperating with immigration authorities. Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis called the ban “the biggest betrayal to law enforcement and public safety” that he has ever seen. Watch: BREAKING – Nine Maryland sheriffs have just announced they will ignore Democrat Gov. Wes Moore’s ban on cooperation with ICE and continue allowing officers to be deputized by the federal government for immigration screenings. pic.twitter.com/BHpzAQeFEu — Right Angle News Network (@Rightanglenews) February 20, 2026 Here’s a longer clip: HOLY SMOKES. Maryland Sheriffs are going BERSERK after Democrat Gov. Moore abolishes 287(g) agreements with ICE “This is the BIGGEST BETRAYAL to law enforcement and public safety I have EVER seen.” “Now you’ll see an ICE surge in this state!” pic.twitter.com/4vIrOQxnQm — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) February 20, 2026 Specifically, the new law banned 287(g) partnerships with ICE. But, it doesn’t prevent local authorities from notifying ICE when an illegal alien is arrested. Fox Baltimore has more details: Maryland sheriffs who previously participated in the federal 287(g) program say they plan to keep working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in other ways, even after the governor signed a ban on formal 287(g) agreements. Although the new law eliminates formal memorandums of understanding (MOU) with ICE, it does not end all cooperation with the agency. Carroll County Sheriff Jim DeWees said, “So I created a policy.” Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler said, “So we go forward still in partnership. Even if it’s not formal, even if the MOUs are banned.” Gahler said Harford County will continue sharing information with ICE about people arrested in the county. “We’re going to provide ICE with the information of those people we arrest, so that they can file detainers,” he said. Sheriffs also pointed to guidance from the governor. In a letter sent to sheriffs, the governor said the new law does not prevent localities from continuing to notify ICE about the impending release of an individual of interest. One sheriff said, “The governor made it clear in his letter that came out to us yesterday, he wants us to continue to collaborate with ICE, we just can’t do it through a formal 287(g) agreement.” God Bless these sheriffs! Kudos to you guys so glad to see someone understands the need and steps up to the plate — Maggie Scheetz (@scheetzm2) February 20, 2026 Illegal orders that prevent law enforcement from doing their job and, you know, upholding the law should be disobeyed. This X user makes a great point: When you get sworn in as a police officer, you take an oath to uphold the law. Which means that you are bound by your duty to disobey any unlawful orders like Wes Moore’s. Same with the COVID mandates. Many officers just outright said they could not be enforced. — The Conservative Alternative (@OldeWorldOrder) February 20, 2026 The Sheriffs have always been our last line of defense. Stand strong Sheriffs! Sheriff Richard Mack Explains How We Can SAVE America! Yesterday I had the real honor of welcoming Sheriff Richard Mack to my show, The Daily Truth Report. You might recognize his name… Sheriff Mack has had a long and storied carreer as an Arizona Sheriff in Graham County dating back to 1988, but then in the 1990s he sued the Clinton Administration over the Unconstitutional “Brady Bill”. Remember that? Not only did he sue the Clinton Administration, but he WON in a historic decision called Printz v. United States.  A major victory for the 10th Amendment, and quite frankly a case that could stand to be applied to hundreds of things in our current society as the Federal Overreach has only become much worse 30+ years later. But as great as all of that is, what I really wanted to talk to him about was his work with the CSPOA — that’s an organization he founded called the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. I’ve talked about this several times before, but I truly view Sheriffs across America as one of our last stands between a Constitutional Republic following the Constitution and a total takeover of this Country by some very bad people who HATE the Constitution and want to see it abolished. So I had Sheriff Mack on my show to tell the world about what he is doing….and perhaps more importantly, how all of us can get involved to help!  Especially before the election. Sheriff Mack told me an incredible story on the show about (a different) time he defied the Federal Government related to rebuilding a bridge. The Federal Government said he couldn’t rebuild the bridge without a bunch of red tape and wasting several years and no doubt millions of dollars. Sheriff Mack tried to comply for a bit but eventually said enough is enough and began work on rebuilding the bridge. The federal government showed up, claimed they were going to arrest everyone, to which Sheriff Mack responded by telling them they have NO AUTHORITY to do so under the Constitution and if they tried he would arrest THEM! Guess what happened? They backed down! Packed their bags, left town and never returned. That’s why I love this guy! The problem is, most Americans and even most Sheriffs today have no idea what their rights are under the Constitution, and if you don’t even know your rights, you can’t protect or enforce them. So I think this interview is so important. Please help me share this far and wide to wake some people up and build of “POSSE” before the election! You’ll see what I mean when you watch.
