House GOP Pushes 'DON-ument Act' To Make Border Wall A National Monument Across 4 States

Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) introduced H.R. 5279, the "DON-ument Act," to designate the Southern Border Wall National Monument spanning parts of CA, AZ, NM and TX, framing it as a tribute to former President Trump’s border security agenda. The proposal dovetails with broader Republican efforts to cement Trump-era border wall policies and symbolism, and arrives amid ongoing DHS actions to expand and fortify physical barriers. The bill is likely to spark legal, land-management and political debate over protecting the wall as a permanent federal feature.
