The town of Presidio, Texas, is suing the Trump administration to block the construction of a border wall, arguing it threatens the town's flood levees along the Rio Grande. Presidio's development district contends that the proposed wall, which would replace earthen slopes with concrete and steel bollards, could compromise the levee system built in the 1970s and 1980s. The administration argues it has the authority to waive regulations for border wall construction and that a final plan has not yet been decided, while critics claim the broad waivers exceed congressional intent.
