HOUSE GOP’S ‘DON-UMENT’ BILL WOULD LOCK IN BORDER WALL AS NATIONAL MONUMENT, LIMITING FUTURE REMOVALS

Rep. Cory Mills introduced the “DON-ument Act” to designate the U.S.–Mexico border wall as the Southern Border Wall National Monument across CA, AZ, NM, and TX, aiming to protect the structure from alteration. The bill is framed as a tribute to Trump’s border agenda and joins a flurry of symbolic, pro‑Trump measures from House Republicans. While largely political signaling, the designation could constrain future changes to wall segments and intersect with CBP/land‑management authorities if enacted.
