EL PASO, Texas โ€“ A non-profit group touted the progress on a privately funded border wall Thursday, two days after a New Mexico mayor said the barrier was being built illegally.

The We Build the Wall group held a press conference Thursday to officially unveil the โ€œfirst ever privately built border wall on US-Mexico border."

On Tuesday, Sunland Park Mayor Javier Perea claimed that the wall was built illegally after the property owners did not obtain the necessary permits to erect the fencing.

Sunland Park city officials sent the property owners and the group a cease and desist letter to halt the construction. Construction stopped Tuesday, but quickly began again Thursday after the group got the go-ahead from the city.

โ€œWe actually applied for permits last week and we were told we were set and ready to go,โ€ We Build the Wall general counsel Kris Kobach said.
