NEW: @JinATX and I found that CBP awarded at least 12 TX #borderwall contracts without 1st owning all the land, racking up millions in delay costs.
Then the agency used the delays on those contracts in court as justification to immediately take the land.

Building a border wall was one of Trump’s core campaign promises. The instruction to CBP was to get as much done as possible. The problem is that in Texas most of the riverfront land is privately owned.
Out of the 110 miles the administration planned to build in the #RioGrandeValley, just 15 miles had been finished as of mid-December.
