The U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration on Monday to continue building a border-wall section in Texas's Big Bend region, including parts of Big Bend National Park.

In an unsigned five-page order, the court granted the administration's emergency request to pause a lower-court order that had temporarily halted the project last month, the Guardian reported. The ruling said Congress had prioritized border control over environmental and recreational harms, according to the Guardian.

A lawsuit had sought to stop the construction by challenging waivers used to bypass protections, Al Jazeera reported. The court's action permits work on the project to proceed while the dispute continues.
