US President Joe Biden's administration is to build a section of border wall in southern Texas in an effort to stop rising levels of immigration.
About 20 miles (32km) will be built in Starr County along its border with Mexico, where officials report high numbers of crossings.
Building a border wall was a signature policy of Donald Trump as president and fiercely opposed by Democrats.
In 2020, Mr Biden promised he would not build another foot of wall if elected.

The Biden administration in the United States has decided to partially approve the construction of the border wall, which was promoted by the former Trump administration, in response to the large number of illegal immigrants entering the country from the border with Mexico.
Secretary of Homeland Security Mayorkas announced on the 5th that the United States has decided to authorize the construction of a wall at multiple locations along the border in southern Texas, where large numbers of illegal immigrants are entering the country from Mexico.
Secretary Mayorkas pointed out that between October last year and August this year, 245,000 illegal immigrants entered the country in areas where wall construction is permitted, and said, ''Build physical barriers and roads near the border.'' "This is an urgent and urgent need."
Immediately after taking office, President Biden halted construction of the border wall promoted by the former Trump administration, but this is a major change in policy in the face of an influx of migrants.
Texas has been moving illegal immigrants who entered the country by bus to northern states, and the administration's response has been criticized, with the Democratic governor of New York, who is having difficulty accepting them, calling for the border to be closed.

Weeks after granting temporary protected status for those who traveled to the United States before August, the White House now says it will resume deporting Venezuelans who arrived illegally after that date. This comes as the President Joe Biden says he tried to get the money for the new section of the border wall redirected but Congress “wouldn’t.” NBC’s Morgan Chesky reports for TODAY.

Did the Biden Administration’s decision to release $6 billion in frozen funds to Iran play any role in the Hamas invasion?
Already, the Biden Administration is coming under attack for its decision to release $6 billion in oil revenues frozen in overseas escrow accounts to Iran in exchange for the release of American hostages, with some Republican voices arguing that this money is being used to fund Hamas’ invasion of Israel.
It appears that the $6 billion specifically in question has not even been released from the Qatari and Korean escrow accounts yet. Furthermore, the Biden Administration argues that there will be guardrails limiting the use of these funds to humanitarian purposes only.
At the same time, there is no doubt Iran provides significant financial support to Hamas. It is hard for some to see how this does not encourage Iran’s radical aspirations and could well trigger the seizing of more hostages. Perhaps the greater tragedy is that had the Saudi-Israel normalization been better managed and more expedited, it is possible that the regional power balance within the Middle East would have already been sufficiently different to deter Iranian and Hamas aggression of the scale we have tragically just witnessed.
The U.S. provides over $3 billion in defense assistance to Israel annually, with Israel the single largest recipient, and that number could conceivably increase—because otherwise, any regional vacuum left by the U.S. will clearly be filled by a stronger Iran, and potentially by China and Russia, both of whom have remained relatively quiet so far in response to Hamas’ attack. But the bipartisan consensus appears to agree that the U.S. cannot afford to draw back its support for Israel now; if Hamas and Iran are not sufficiently punished for this round of violence, there are likely only larger provocations ahead. Even isolationist Republican voices such as Vivek Ramaswamy and Marjorie Taylor Greene have come out in strong support of Israel, suggesting that at least for now the U.S. stands united behind restoring Israeli deterrence through a strong response.
