A federal judge did not halt a DHS wall plan in Presidio, Texas. The town rests just by Big Bend. The construction will cut straight through a levee system. Local leaders claimed it catches runoff. They noted residents could see greater risk of floods. DHS fired back. They say the barrier is a security must. The judge let it go ahead. So crews can now build on the levee. The flood worries persist. But the work is given the go-ahead.
