A North Dakota construction company favored by Trump has received the largest contract to date to build a section of his signature border wall. The $1.3-billion contract works out to about $30 million per mile.

Choung Woong Ahn’s family said he should be released because of his age and health issues. ICE disagreed.

Democratic members of Congress raised concerns in December after Fisher was awarded a $400- million contract for border wall construction. Within two weeks, the defense department’s inspector general had launched an investigation, which is ongoing, according to Democratic U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, a critic who questioned whether the contract had been properly awarded.

No, you can't stop them

Failed to level the land before building the wall

They’re just going to build tunnels.

Still sounds stupid as to choose PHOENIX company when it's in the state on the opposite side of the country, near Canadian borders instead of Mexican.

Well located for subsequent contract along the 49th. It will come.

Waste of money

Unbelievable to see wasted money

Incredible waste of taxpayer $’s at s time when over 36 million prople are out of work and waiting in line for food!!! Think how many more $2400 checks could have been written with over a BILLION dollars!!!

Great! The sooner it gets built, the better.

Still a drop in the bucket from the $100+ billion illegals cost us yearly with things like medical, school, public service

They’re gonna need to hire a bunch of immigrants if they want that wall built by the end of the year, before it’s scrapped after the Duck gets arrested for his crimes once he loses in November 2020.

Human trafficking (including children), drug trafficking, arms trafficking, gangs like MS13... Just some of the things such articles fail to focus on .... because, you know, 'racism'...

Favored by Trump!? Kinda like how Burisma is / was favored by Joe N Hunter Biden!!! Lololol..how delightful

Still cheaper than the non high speed train in CA.

Whatever happened to checks and balances?

Cool, no favoritism was ever shown to planned parenthood for federal monies to murder babies....

More corruption. They have no experience, sounds reminiscent of the contractor that was awarded bid to rebuild Puerto Rico's electrical grid.

Awesome 😎

$30 million per mile. Wowsers and still nothing is going to be done about this. Unbelievable.

If I remember right, Federal Acquisition Regs we’re waved for this contract. Which means the Price was not evaluated & this was rigged

“Fair procurement.”

I mean when I got my deck built I went with someone I favored. That I knew would get the job done. I mean wtf lol. Media is a disgrace in this country.

What a waste of money. A simple ladder can defeat trumps wall. I mean what century is this

お仲間に💰ばらまくのは、何処の国でも一緒なのかなぁ😅

This is worse than a bridge to nowhere. That’s over $5,000 per foot! Cmon man. TrumpGate

Meanwhile, Canada is like 'yeah, we don't really want to go over to your country, eh. We have marijuana and affordable health care. If nothing, we're going to keep YOU out.'

while people are like ned up for food banks.

Can you say.... Ridiculous. Favoritism. Conflict of interest. Kickbacks. Outrageous. Bullshit.

Sounds cheaper than construction in SF

Yet we somehow can’t get enough PPE to all states or enough tests for everyone... it’s clearly about priorities.

It’s not Trump’s fault, he found them on Etsy...should have chosen my border wall. I would have built it out of macaroni for only a mil a mile. coulda woulda shoulda🤷🏻‍♂️

Follow up questions- do they have experience and capacity, have they been successful on other projects, what’s their financial strength to perform? Were each other contact bidders evaluated similarly?

30 million per mile seems a little high.

Seems like a great place to spend money in these times, can't think of anything else that could be use for...

AlJavieera Cheaper to bury high voltage transmission lines in Puerto Rico...

Why aren’t we spending that on low cost health clinics in rural areas in every state? WTF

Drain the swamp.
