A Customs and Border Protection memo states that Kristi Noem has delayed the construction of nearly 200 miles of wall, fencing, and water barriers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The memo, obtained by The Washington Examiner, says that contracts for the construction of 102 miles of wall, more than 90 miles of barriers on the Rio Grande, and two miles of fencing are set to be awarded. But Noem, referred to as “S1″ in the memo, hasn’t yet acted.
The reason that one of Donald Trump’s most hyped policy efforts has been held up, four senior federal sources told the publication, is Noem’s announcement last year that she would personally review Department of Homeland Security contracts valued at $100,000 or more.
