The Department of Homeland Security announced that it intends to waive dozens of environmental laws to expedite border wall construction in California.

A Notice of Determination filed by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday states there is “presently an acute and immediate need to construct additional physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project area.”
