The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced on Friday that 10 new construction contracts totaling approximately $4.5 billion were awarded which will add hundreds of miles of Smart Wall along the southwest border.
In total, these projects will add 230 miles of Smart Wall and nearly 400 miles of new technology. The technology additions will further secure existing wall in areas where the Biden Administration policies cancelled contracts to do so, CBP said in a press release.
“For years, Washington talked about border security but failed to deliver. This President changed that,” said CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott. “The Smart Wall means more miles of barriers, more technology, and more capability for our agents on the ground. This is how you take control of the border.”
The 10 contracts are the first to be funded by President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and also include minimal prior year funding from Fiscal Year 2021 wall appropriations, funding which was on hold during the Biden-Harris regime.
The first 10 contracts funded by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (and remaining FY 2021 wall appropriations) include:
