New Mexico mayor files cease-and-desist to group starting to build border wall
A New Mexico mayor said Tuesday that a cease-and-desist order has been filed after a private group began building a portion of wall at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Reports surfaced in the past few days that organizers with the private group We Build the Wall started building an 18-foot steel bollard wall to fill in gaps in existing barriers.
“The city has not provided any permits, it has not approved of the construction that has gone up already,” Peter Ibardo, a city spokesman in Sunland Park, N.M., told The Texas Tribune. “They built the structure without authority or any building permits from the city.”
