A report from The Daily Wire reveals that the outgoing Biden Administration is purposefully sabotaging the incoming Trump administration’s efforts to secure the border by selling off unused sections of wall that were never erected.
The outlet has obtained footage from a Border Patrol whistleblower of the wall sections being hauled away on the back of flatbed trucks from a section of the border just south of Tucson.
The agent claims that up to half a mile of unused wall is being moved every day.
“They are taking it from three stations: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points,” the border patrol agent said, adding “The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas.”

In fact, this has been ongoing for some time and was also reported last year.
“When Trump comes back, and he wants to start the border wall all over again, the whole entire funding fight is gonna happen again,” the agent further commented, adding “That’s their play. He’s gonna have to fight for this — again.”
The report further reveals that a government contractor, DP Trucking LLC, is transporting the pieces of the wall north on Interstate 19 to Pinal Airpark in Marana, Arizona.
“They just started taking all the wall that was not used, which is still totally good and usable, and they started taking it northbound,” the agent said, urging that “They’re pulling it all off the border.”
There it is being auctioned through GovPlanet, a surplus government equipment auction marketplace, the agent told the outlet.
The owner of the trucking company confirmed the the outlet that it is indeed moving sections of the wall.
The auction website has auctions set for Dec. 11 and Dec. 18 for the wall sections which are listed on the company’s website as “32.91’ X 7.91’ Steel Bollard Wall Sections w/Grout.”
The site also shows that sales occurred as recently as December 4.
Bidding is set to open at just $5 per section, according to the site.
Republican Congressman from Arizona Eli Crane accused the Biden administration of “purposefully hamstringing” Trump before his term begins.
“The Biden Administration is well aware they shouldn’t have reversed the construction of the border wall. If it’s true, they’re purposefully hamstringing an incoming president, it wouldn’t be shocking,” Crane said.
“Why would they want to see President Trump succeed with policies they aggressively sabotaged?” he added.
“The American people gave President Trump a mandate in November, which included the fulfilment of his plans to secure the border,” Crane further urged, adding that “Any last-ditch attempt to obstruct this mandate by the Biden Administration would be a direct affront to the will of the people.”
Trump has vowed to restart construction of the wall immediately upon entering office and intends to use an executive order to unlock funds that were frozen under Biden.
As we previously highlighted, hundreds of miles of the wall sections were left on the ground to corrode for years with the Biden administration actually paying contractors up to $5 million per day not to do anything with them.
