The Biden administration is quietly auctioning off millions of dollars’ worth of unused parts from former President Trump’s border wall for peanuts – in an apparent end-run around pending legislation in Congress.

Since April, GovPlanet, an online auction house specializing in military surplus, has sold 81 lots of steel “square structural tubes” — intended for use as vertical bollards in the border barrier’s 30-foot-tall panels — hauling in about $2 million. ---More...

Trump allocated $15B for a border wall.

Biden ended the project & worksites were abandoned.

2.5 yrs later we're still paying $160K a month for 21K unused wall panels to sit beside the border.

This is madness & dereliction of duty by @JoeBiden & @SecMayorkas.
