The Texas General Land Office has acquired a 1,400 acre ranch along the Rio Grande in a key area that officials say has seen human trafficking, weapons and drug smuggling.

The state will now use that land to build additional border wall.

Gov. Greg Abbott announced in 2021 funding for a state project to continue construction of a wall after Biden administration abruptly ended the Trump -era project.
