The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to resume building a border wall through the Big Bend region of West Texas.
The Daily Wire reports the decision was 8-1 and covers a remote stretch of the border that includes a national park. Breitbart reports the justices lifted an order that had blocked the construction.
The Federalist highlighted the order's reasoning: "The Government's interest therefore outweighs any aesthetic, recreational, and environmental harm alleged by respondents".
The Daily Caller noted the ruling arrives as Texas, by its account, just voted blue in the midterms.
For border communities that have lived with the consequences of an open frontier, the ruling means the wall can keep going up.
