A South Texas congressman is seeking exemptions from border wall construction for certain landmarks. U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat from Texas, is working on this effort. He is collaborating with Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee.

The goal is to include exceptions in the 2027 Homeland Security budget bill. These exceptions would apply to specific landmarks in the Rio Grande Valley.

Further details on this initiative are available from the source, including the specific landmarks that may be exempt and the current status of the exemptions in the budget bill.
