Suspension of the government’s possession of farmland needed to complete “biggest unfinished segment” of the U.S.-Mexico border fence.
Secure Fence Act originally called for almost 700 miles of double-layered fencing. However Congress has eased the requirement, allowing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to instead erect vehicle barriers in lieu of fencing, at their discretion.
The article explains that the DHS has encountered various problems in attempting to complete the fence. Landowners are concerned with the property the government must take to complete the fence and how they will access the land stranded by the fence. They oppose the idea of a gate so until a solution to how landowners will be able to access the property on the other side of the fence is developed, government ownership of the land is suspended.
