In an online presentation Wednesday, CBP — the largest division of the Department of Homeland Security and home to the Border Patrol — detailed plans to address environmental damage brought on by the former president’s signature campaign promise and confirmed that the wall will remain a permanent fixture of the Southwest for generations to come. “Many comments specifically noted impacts to the Mexican gray wolf, jaguar, Sonoran Desert pronghorn, bighorn sheep, ocelot, javelina, mountain lion, bear, and other wildlife,” CBP noted in a The wall’s environmental harms have been particularly acute in southern Arizona, where CBP used explosives to blast through large swaths of protected land — including sacred Native American burial grounds and one-of-a-kind wildlife habitats — in service of Trump’s most expansive border wall extensions. Customs and Border Protection confirmed that work on the border wall that began under Trump is revving back up under Biden. “It’s feeling like it felt during border wall construction with Trump,” Traphagen told The Intercept. Later, a Border Patrol agent ordered him to leave the area.

The president had also been due to meet Prime Minister Liz Truss on Sunday, but the talks were cancelled on Saturday. The US President added: "I have talked about how my mother and father thought that everyone, no matter who they were, no matter what their station, no matter where they are from, deserved to be treated with dignity. India will be represented by President Droupadi Murmu. The world is better for her." Biden then headed to Lancaster House to sign a book of condolence. Large crowds gathered at the barricades near Buckingham Palace and Parliament Square Garden as they arrived, joined by the US ambassador to the UK, Jane Hartley.

President Joe Biden arrived in London late Saturday to mourn Queen Elizabeth II, the long-reigning monarch he says "defined an era."

In their first phone call as counterparts earlier this month, Biden raised the matter with Truss, according to the White House. “President Biden conveyed his wish to continue a close relationship with the King.” The White House explained at the time that the separate trip was “due to security protocols.” Since then, the country has been in a formal period of mourning. The challenges have been aggravated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has caused volatility in oil and gas markets. A new prime minister, Liz Truss, entered office after months of uncertainty following the decision of her predecessor, Boris Johnson, to step down. Our hearts go out to the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom.” He didn’t bow down then, or when he met the Queen as president last year while attending a Group of 7 summit in England. Jill Biden signed a separate condolence book for leader spouses at Lancaster House, writing, in part, “Queen Elizabeth II lived her life for the people she served with wisdom and grace. But as I’ve told the King, she’s going to be with him every step of the way.” But I can say that the ones who stand out in your mind are those whose relationship and interaction with you are consistent with their reputation,” Biden said after signing a condolence book Sunday evening. The Bidens were joined earlier during their visit to Westminster Hall by Jane Hartley, the US ambassador to the UK.
