REVEALED: $1.5 billion of funding for Trump's wall has provided just 1.7 miles of fence

More than $1.5bn of border wall funding has produced a mere 1.7 miles of fencing along the nation’s southern border, a federal judge was told.

An attorney representing the state attorneys general wrote in a court filing “it appears that [Customs and Border Protection] has now constructed 1.7 miles of fencing with its fiscal year 2018 funding.” He added: “Also, tremendous work is being done on pure renovation - fixing existing Walls that are in bad condition and ineffective, and bringing them to a very high standard!”
