Supreme Court lets Texas Big Bend wall work resume

The Supreme Court lifted a lower-court order that had temporarily blocked border wall and related construction in the Big Bend area of west Texas, CBS News reported. The ruling lets the Trump administration restart work while a lawsuit over the plan continues, according to WAER. KFOX reported that the vote was 8-1 and that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented; other reports did not give a vote count. KFOX also said environmental groups have warned the project could affect the desert ecosystem and wildlife.
