Summary: We Build the Wall, the crowdfunded, ultra-right group that put up a multimillion-dollar border wall just west of El Paso in southern New Mexico, has said that it only builds on private land. But earlier this month, the group extended its wall onto government land — without asking first for government permission. The extension is a wall with a locking gate thathas closed a federal road next to the Rio Grande, at the intersection of Mexico, Texas, and New Mexico.
