· KRGV (NBC 5)
A federal temporary restraining order has halted border wall construction at the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge due to alleged damage to a canal in Alamo. The Hidalgo County Irrigation District No. 2 filed the lawsuit on July 30 against Spencer Construction, LLC, and Royal Concrete Products, LLC, claiming they trespassed on district land and harmed the canal. The court found sufficient reason to extend the restraining order until August 27, 2026, to prevent further damage. A hearing is scheduled for Monday, August 17, to address the lawsuit and consider a preliminary injunction.
