Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has successfully blocked the Biden administration from selling border wall materials before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January.
The Biden administration told a federal judge on Friday that it would agree to an order preventing them from disposing of border wall materials until Trump takes office.
TRUMP’S ‘NO TAXES ON OVERTIME’ PROPOSAL: WHAT TO KNOW
“We have successfully blocked the Biden Administration from disposing of any further border wall materials before President Trump takes office,” Paxton said. “This follows our major victory forcing Biden to build the wall, and we will hold his Administration accountable for illegally subverting our Nation’s border security until their very last day in power, especially where their actions are clearly motivated by a desire to thwart President-elect Trump’s immigration agenda.”
Trump celebrated the decision in a post to Truth Social Saturday.
“In a major, crucial WIN for America, and our National Security, a Federal Judge in Texas, based on papers we filed just a few days ago, has PROHIBITED the Biden Administration from selling any materials designated for the Border Wall, that has been wrecked by Biden and his cronies, and which I am going to rebuild in order to protect our Country from violent migrant crime, fentanyl smuggling, sex trafficking, terror attacks, and other heinous, Nation ending disasters,” he said.
CHEVRON DECISION SET STAGE FOR TRUMP 2025 AGENDA
“The Judge has also ordered an investigation into the illegal selling of the materials, which will expose just how corrupt and anti-American Radical Democrats are,” he added.
The Biden administration will be held in contempt of court as a result of a May injunction by Paxton if “the Department of Justice made misrepresentations regarding the border materials that have been auctioned off.” The court said that the administration must provide documentation proving this did not happen.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Texas was made aware of border materials in Arizona slated for auction on a government website Dec. 12, which was the same day the Daily Wire reported the sale. The next day, Patrick said Texas tried to find the border wall materials on the auction site, but those items were then unavailable.
Trump previously complained that the Biden administration was selling the material “for pennies” and asked for them to stop “giving it away.”
