A judge in Texas granted a temporary restraining order to the opponents of a crowdfunded project to build part of a southern border wall.
The legal issue pertains to a three-mile stretch along the Rio Grande in Hidalgo County, where an immigration group wants to erect an 18-foot-tall wall on private property.
The effort, led by Stephen K. Bannon, is part of We Build the Wall, which claims to have raised $25 million in private donations to construct a barrier along the border with Mexico.
