NBC 7: CBP Halts Construction of New Border Wall in Friendship Park

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol is pausing its border wall replacement project in Friendship Park, agreeing, at least in part, to a plea made by park supporters who wanted to negotiate assurances for public access to the park before the new walls were built. Friends of Friendship Park asked the government to stall construction for 120 days, but it's unclear how long CBP plans to shelve the project.
