The Biden regime is allegedly trying to “sabotage” President-Elect Donald Trump’s border security agenda during its final weeks in power.
An explosive Daily Wire report revealed Thursday that the regime is moving border wall segments away from the southern border and putting the materials up for auction on a government surplus website for a cheap price—in an apparent attempt to stymie Trump’s border security efforts.
During Joe Biden’s entire term, massive piles of border wall were stacked up along the border, spurned and unused by the regime as millions of illegal immigrants were allowed to pour through.
A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol whistleblower video obtained by The Daily Wire shows that the Biden regime has finally taken action—to have the unused border wall sections loaded onto flatbed trucks and hauled away.
The regime reportedly contracted DP Trucking LLC to transport the pieces of the wall to Pinal Airpark in Marana, Arizona, “where it is being auctioned through GovPlanet, a surplus government equipment auction marketplace.”
An agent told the Daily Wire that “up to a half a mile per day of unused border wall” is being hauled off.
“They are taking it from three stations: Nogales, Tucson, and Three Points,” the whistleblower border patrol agent said. “The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas.”
Trump’s promise to finish construction of the border wall using the remaining materials, a major plank of his campaign, helped catapult him to victory. The Biden regime’s spiteful efforts not only hamstring Trump’s goal to secure the border, but undermine the will of the American people who elected him.
“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. “They’re pulling it all off the border.”
Harold Lambeth, the owner of DP Trucking LLC, confirmed to The Daily Wire in a phone call that his trucks have been transporting the unused border wall sections away from the construction sites, but refused to provide further information about the work.
Video of the GovPlanet auction site where the material is being taken shows seemingly endless piles of unused border wall material. Another video, taken from one of the construction sites on the border, shows DP Trucking LLC trucks passing through with the same style of unused border wall stacked up the back of their flatbeds.
The auction website shows that sales occurred as recently as December 4 for precisely the types of materials being pulled off the border. GovPlanet has online auctions set for Dec. 11 and Dec. 18 for more of the border wall material, which is listed on the company’s website as “32.91’ X 7.91’ Steel Bollard Wall Sections w/Grout.”
The bidding for each section of wall panels is set to begin at only $5.00, according to the website.
Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) told the Daily Wire that the Biden administration is “purposefully hamstringing” Trump before he takes office.
“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 told The Daily Wire. “Why would they want to see President Trump succeed with policies they aggressively sabotaged?”
A long-time border patrol agent agreed with Crane that the Biden regime is “trying to stymie Trump’s ability to quickly secure the border as soon as he returns to office,” according to the Wire.
“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 said. “That’s their play. He’s gonna have to fight for this — again.”
The Customs and Border Protection Agency referred The Daily Wire to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, saying the latter had jurisdiction over the materials until they are erected. From there, The Daily Wire was referred to the Defense Logistics Agency, where an official said the standing policy is to refer all media requests on this to the public affairs team at the Office of the Secretary of Defense. A member of the public affairs team declined to respond to inquiries.
Trump is expected to use an executive order to unlock funds to restart construction of the border wall that was halted under Biden, with anticipation that it could be one of his day-one actions.
Crane told the Daily Wire that the the Biden’s vindictive actions are “a direct affront to the will of the people.”
“The American people gave President Trump a mandate in November, which included the fulfillment of his plans to secure the border,” Crane said. “Any last-ditch attempt to obstruct this mandate by the Biden Administration would be a direct affront to the will of the people.”
Several other GOP lawmakers expressed outrage on social media Thursday after the Daily Wire’s report went live.
“President Biden is rushing to sell off sections of the wall that are yet to be built,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) wrote on X. “President Biden and Kamala Harris have successfully put illegal aliens over the safety and security of our own citizens. Never forget why the American people rejected them.”
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita accused Biden of trying to sabotage Trump.
“Biden left materials for the border wall just sitting around that you, the taxpayer, paid for,” he wrote. “Then he let millions of illegal aliens pour into our country unchecked and made every state a border state. Now, on his way out the door, he is sabotaging @realdonaldtrump who has a mandate to secure our border.”
“Want to buy a piece of the border wall?” Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) asked. “The Biden Admin’s starting bid is $5. This isn’t the first they’ve pulled this stunt and tried to sell border wall materials at a steep discount. I’ve called it out before, and I’m calling it out again.”
“I introduced legislation FOUR YEARS AGO to give Texas this unused border wall material so we can build it ourselves,” Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas) said. “The Administration completely ignored our requests and is now using its final weeks to further cripple our national security. Unf*ingbelieveable.”
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) suggested the Lone Star State should purchase the materials from the federal government.
“@GregAbbott_TX should buy all the materials for Texas’ own border wall construction and then use freed up funds for Operation Lone Star to transport more illegal migrants from Texas to Democrat sanctuary cities,” he wrote
Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) noted “the American people sent a clear mandate that they want secure borders.”
“The Biden/Harris administration is intentionally sabotaging President Trump and the American people,” he added
Kind of hope that some conservative or non-profit groups that are concerned about the illegal immigration problem will buy these up and donate them back to the incoming administration. If I knew where to put my bid in and how to get them back to where they were pilfered from, I would be willing to do so.
This incident well illustrates the problem at the heart of America’s system of governance. Republicans would never stoop to pull a stunt like this, and perhaps, we admire this high-mindedness. But while they will grouse endlessly about this kind of sleaze, they won’t do anything to stop it. Is this even legal, or doesn’t that matter anymore?
