- On Friday, The People of La Junta for Preservation, Far Flung Outdoor Center and other plaintiffs filed a federal lawsuit seeking to halt the work.
- On Monday, CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott announced that all construction activity in the park would be temporarily paused while he personally reviews the project and consults local stakeholders.
- CBP says the project includes one new access road, improvements to existing roads, detection technology and strategically placed vehicle barriers, but not a traditional 30-foot wall through Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park or the Black Gap Wildlife Management Area.
- According to CBP data, Border Patrol recorded 148 migrant encounters in the Big Bend Sector in June 2026, compared with 412 in June 2023; during the first nine months of fiscal year 2026, there were 1,509 compared with 10,291 in the corresponding period of 2023, an 85 percent decline.
I feel like I just finished a round of non-consensual torture. I am grateful that the pain has stopped.

- Artan officiated the meeting between Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain and Europa League winners Aston Villa at Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, which PSG won 2-1.
- The 34-year-old became the first referee from outside Europe to take charge of a UEFA Super Cup final.
- Artan had previously been denied entry to the United States despite earning a place on FIFA’s World Cup referee panel, after US authorities cited security concerns and alleged links to terrorist organisations, which he rejected.
- After UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin invited him under a cooperation arrangement with CAF, Artan dedicated the official match ball to his missed World Cup and thanked UEFA and CAF for their support.
This was my World Cup. Thanks to everyone who made this possible. Especially to UEFA for giving me the trust and opportunity and for welcoming me to their continent with open arms. My own confederation, CAF, for the support and making this possible.— Omar Artan, the Somali referee who officiated the UEFA Super Cup in Salzburg, wrote this on the match ball.
