LIVE | ‘It’ll burn their hands…’: Noem backs Trump’s black wall plan to stop illegal crossings

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced during a visit to Santa Teresa that the southern border wall will be painted black at President Trump's request. The color is intended to make the wall hotter and harder to climb, aiming to deter illegal crossings. Noem praised the Border Patrol's efforts on trafficking and enforcement and emphasised the importance of a secure border. She also visited Ruidoso to assess recent flood damage.
