Noem added that about a half mile of the wall has been built every day.

“The Border Wall will look very different based on the topography and the geography of where it is built,” she said.

She said the department is also working on “water-borne infrastructure” since large parts of the wall are located along the Rio Grande River in Texas.

She also posted about the developments at the wall on X.

“Today marks seven months of @POTUS

This wall is part of the difference. Too high to climb. Too narrow to squeeze through. And now, at the President’s direction, it will be painted black— so hot to the touch that criminal illegal aliens won’t even try,” she continued.

“This wall doesn’t work alone. It helps our agents do their job. It stands as both shield and symbol: a monument to President Trump’s unshakable commitment to this country and the safety of the American people,” Noem added.
