In the final weeks of its tenure, the Biden-Harris administration is reportedly moving unused border wall materials away from the U.S.-Mexico border and selling them through government auctions.
According to an exclusive report from The Daily Wire on Thursday, large sections of the border wall have been transported from the southern border to a government facility in Arizona, where they are being auctioned at minimal prices.
Footage captured by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent, shared with The Daily Wire, shows sections of the wall being hauled away on flatbed trucks.

The materials, located south of Tucson, Arizona, have been stored in one of the most active and problematic areas of the border.
A Border Patrol agent, speaking anonymously to The Daily Wire, revealed that as much as half a mile of unused border wall materials is being moved each day.
The agent stated that the administration’s goal is to have all materials removed from the border before the end of the year.
“They are taking it from three stations: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points,” the agent explained. “The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas.”

The materials are being transported to Pinal Airpark in Marana, Arizona, by DP Trucking LLC, a government contractor responsible for the operation.
Once the materials reach the airpark, they are auctioned off through GovPlanet, a government surplus equipment auction marketplace.
According to GovPlanet’s website, some of the border wall materials are listed for as little as $5, raising questions about the administration’s priorities regarding border security.
The decision to auction off border wall materials comes as former President Donald Trump prepares to resume construction efforts to secure the southern border.

During his campaign, Trump pledged to use the existing materials to expedite construction if re-elected.
However, the border agent emphasized that Trump may face significant hurdles in restarting the project, as much of the materials are being removed and sold.
“When Trump comes back, and he wants to start the border wall all over again, the whole entire funding fight is gonna happen again,” the agent stated. “That’s their play. He’s gonna have to fight for this — again.”
Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) condemned the Biden-Harris administration’s actions, characterizing them as an intentional effort to undermine Trump’s mandate to secure the border.
“The American people gave President Trump a mandate in November, which included the fulfillment of his plans to secure the border,” Crane told The Daily Wire.
“Any last-ditch attempt to obstruct this mandate by the Biden Administration would be a direct affront to the will of the people.”

Crane’s comments echo the frustration of many Republicans who see the auctioning of border wall materials as a political move aimed at delaying Trump’s ability to address the border crisis.
The southern border continues to be a focal point of debate as illegal crossings remain at high levels.

The removal of border wall materials comes amid ongoing concerns about border security and immigration enforcement.
Critics argue that selling off materials initially allocated for border wall construction undermines efforts to address these challenges effectively.
As the transition of power looms, the Biden-Harris administration’s actions have drawn sharp criticism from lawmakers and border enforcement officials, setting the stage for renewed battles over border security funding and policy in the next Congress.

Biden, or people in his administration, are proving once again their goal of undermining this country. And, with just a few weeks remaining in this despicable presidency, who knows what else they’ll do?
The Bidet regime has been selling off the materials for a couple of years. Even though there IS a court decision that the Regime was required to build wall as it had already been paid for in 20.
All in a day’s work, like the shredding of questionable ballots in 2020 in spite of the law mandating they be kept for at least 2 years.
Elon as a federal contractor should be able to bid these auctions, Trump needs to send either him or someone in his employ down there. Bid as low as possible to get them then sell back at cost plus 10%. Win win for maga.
Biden IS a traitor to this country! The Democrats are right with this idiot! Biden and you idiots tried to make this country Communist and you should be dealt with accordingly!
Texas once again bails out the country!
Biden didn’t do this, he has no idea what he’s signing. This is treason conducted by another party. We’ll see exactly who once the new border czar steps in.
Democrats, especially the ones in power are the most disgusting, vile creatures on the planet.
How can they sell off government property without permission from Congress?
