DHS To Paint Entire Border Wall Black, Add Cameras As Construction Accelerates

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the administration will paint the entire U.S.-Mexico border wall black at President Trump’s request to make it hotter and harder to climb, while adding cameras, sensors and other surveillance tech. She cited funding from a major spending bill to continue construction at roughly half a mile per day, reviving and escalating Trump-era wall tactics. DHS has not provided cost or timeline details; the move raises questions about effectiveness, environmental impacts and potential legal challenges.
