As Americans celebrate the holiday season, a disturbing operation is unfolding along our southern border. Indeed, it threatens both national security and taxpayer interests.

While many focused on Christmas preparations, government contractors were quietly executing a devious plan. What they’re doing has conservative lawmakers and border security experts sounding the alarm.

The situation has become so concerning that President-elect Donald Trump has taken unprecedented legal action. He’s filed an emergency brief to halt what he describes as a “fire sale” of critical border security infrastructure.

But it’s what happened in the pre-dawn hours this Tuesday that has border officials speaking out.

Exclusive footage obtained by The Daily Wire reveals an orchestrated effort to transport massive sections of border wall materials away from the Arizona border. Trucks loaded with steel bollard panels could be seen departing under the cover of darkness. According to Border Patrol sources, these early morning operations appear designed to avoid public scrutiny.

“The Biden administration is now moving the wall in the dead of night,” revealed a Border Patrol source who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the operations. “But we are monitoring every movement.”

Controversial Timing

The timing couldn’t be more controversial. With just weeks remaining before Trump’s January return to office, the Biden administration appears to be racing to dispose of materials originally purchased with taxpayer dollars. They’re doing so at prices that have fiscal conservatives outraged.

“It’s very expensive, and now it’s about double the price of what it would have been six years ago, and the administration is trying to sell it for five cents on the dollar, knowing that we’re getting ready to put it up,” Trump stated in a December 18 press conference, calling the operation “almost a criminal act.”

The scale of the operation is staggering. Border Patrol sources estimate that approximately half a mile worth of wall materials are being transported daily. Contractors are working against what appears to be a December 25 deadline to clear out the entire supply.

In response to these revelations, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a motion on Tuesday to halt what he terms an “illegal” sale of border wall sections. His office argues that the sales violate a May 2024 federal court order requiring the Biden administration to continue border wall construction using approximately $1.4 billion in congressionally allocated funds.

While the Pentagon claims authority for the sales under the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, Senate Republicans who authored the legislation maintain their intent was exactly the opposite. The provision actually requires the federal government to deploy the materials or transfer them to state governments for wall construction – not auction them off to private buyers.

Ted Cruz’s Chilling Warning

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) issued a stern warning about potential consequences.

“To every official at the Department of Homeland Security, or anywhere else, who approves selling off incredibly expensive portions of the border wall for $5 a piece, you are engaged in theft of government property and you should expect the Department of Justice to investigate you and prosecute you,” Cruz said.

The timing and manner of these sales take on added significance given recent border security statistics. A December of 2024 Gallup poll shows 53% of Americans now support major expansion of border wall construction. This is a 13-point increase since 2019. This surge in public support makes the fire sale even more questionable from both security and fiscal perspectives.

Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), whose district borders the Pinal Airpark where materials are being gathered for auction, summarized the situation.

“Even now as this sabotage has been brought to light, the Biden administration is persisting with its betrayal,” he said. “Undermining President Trump will not save Biden’s shameful legacy – it will only serve to devastate American families by making it harder to secure the border.”

Border Security Is Being Dismantled

As this story continues to develop, one thing becomes clear. Indeed, the American people are witnessing their border security being dismantled and sold off piece by piece. With legal challenges mounting and congressional oversight intensifying, the Biden administration’s early morning operations may soon face the harsh light of day. They may also face the judgment of American taxpayers, who ultimately foot the bill for this controversial fire sale.

The question now isn’t just about the fate of these border wall materials. Instead, it’s about accountability, national security, and the proper stewardship of taxpayer resources. As federal courts prepare to hear multiple challenges to these sales, Americans are left to wonder what else might be happening in those pre-dawn hours along our southern border.

Key Takeaways:

• Biden administration conducting pre-dawn operations to remove border wall sections despite mounting legal challenges.
• Materials purchased with taxpayer dollars being sold for “five cents on the dollar” weeks before Trump takes office.
• Border Patrol sources estimate half-mile of wall materials being removed daily to meet Christmas deadline.
• Multiple Republican leaders taking legal action to stop what Trump calls “almost a criminal act.”
