The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Monday it will restart some construction on the Trump administration’s border wall and will focus on gaps that were left in place after President Joe Bien ordered work to stop on the barrier during his first day in office.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday directed the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to close gaps that were left open when work was suspended in January, according to a news release.
