Summary
June 2027 is the administration’s target to finish the primary border wall from the Pacific to the Gulf of America, with all contracts due to be awarded by the end of this month.
Mullin told the House Homeland Security Committee the secondary wall is a separate project aimed at stopping cartel cut-throughs in remote areas, with completion now projected for summer 2028.
150-foot secondary barriers will be installed in selected locations alongside a “smart wall” system that can detect crossings and cue drones for immediate surveillance, he said.
The timeline was laid out during DHS budget testimony for fiscal 2027, where Mullin said repeated site visits showed “great progress” and that the department is addressing lawmakers’ concerns as construction advances.
