Lawsuit over potential canal damage halts border wall work at Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge
· 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 against Spencer Construction, LLC, and Royal Concrete Products, LLC, claiming they trespassed on irrigation district land and damaged the canal. The court granted an initial restraining order, which has now been extended until August 27, 2026. The lawsuit argues that continued construction could cause permanent damage to the irrigation system. A hearing on the case is scheduled for August 17.
