A new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report details the extreme environmental harm caused by the U.S.-Mexico border wall built under former President Trump. Constructed without environmental reviews and despite Native Tribes’ concerns, the wall destroyed critical habitats, killed countless saguaro cactuses, and impacted endangered species like ocelots and jaguars. The GAO now recommends the federal government repair this damage.
