The United States Supreme Court cleared the administration on Monday to resume border wall construction at Big Bend National Park. The emergency ruling lifts a lower court order that had halted the project in West Texas. The legal challenge involves conservation groups attempting to block barriers spanning over 300 miles of remote terrain.
