Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said the United States is still on schedule to build between 400 and 450 miles of the new border wall or border “capability” by the end of 2020.

During a White House press conference with President Donald Trump on April 1, Wolf said his agency is building “miles of the wall every day” despite the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, pandemic. Reports have stated that Homeland Security, which oversees the Customs and Border Protection agency, is persisting in building the wall.
