Secretary Kristi Noem visited the border wall in New Mexico and explained the new plan. The black paint will make the metal wall very hot in the sun, so people cannot climb it easily. The government is building about half a mile of wall each day.

Congress gave $46 billion for this project. The administration believes the black wall will help stop illegal border crossings. Noem painted part of the wall herself to show support for the project.
