DONNA – There's heavy construction south of Donna.

It’s the second project of its kind in the Rio Grande Valley.

This is the ground preparation for the construction of a new border wall.

CHANNEL 5 NEWS asked Border Patrol about the contractors, agents and equipment we're seeing at this location.

They referred us to an April memo announcing $145 million and a contract with SLSCO to build 13 miles of border wall in the Valley.
