DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
Office of the Secretary
Determination Pursuant to Section 102
of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996,
as Amended
Office of the Secretary,
Department of Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice of determination.
AGENCY:

The Acting Secretary of
Homeland Security has determined,
pursuant to law, that it is necessary to
waive certain laws, regulations, and
other legal requirements in order to
ensure the expeditious construction of
barriers and roads in the vicinity of the
international land border in Webb
County, Texas, and Zapata County,
Texas.
DATES: This determination takes effect
on May 15, 2020.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Important
mission requirements of the Department
of Homeland Security (‘‘DHS’’) include
border security and the detection and
prevention of illegal entry into the
United States. Border security is critical
to the nation’s national security.
Recognizing the critical importance of
border security, Congress has mandated
DHS to achieve and maintain
operational control of the international
land border. Secure Fence Act of 2006,
Public Law 109–367, section 2, 120 Stat.
2638 (Oct. 26, 2006) (8 U.S.C. 1701
note). Congress defined ‘‘operational
control’’ as the prevention of all
unlawful entries into the United States,
including entries by terrorists, other
unlawful aliens, instruments of
terrorism, narcotics, and other
contraband. Id. Consistent with that
mandate from Congress, the President’s
Executive Order on Border Security and
Immigration Enforcement Improvements
directed executive departments and
agencies to deploy all lawful means to
secure the southern border. Executive
Order 13767, section 1. In order to
achieve that end, the President directed,
among other things, that I take
immediate steps to prevent all unlawful

entries into the United States, including
the immediate construction of physical
infrastructure to prevent illegal entry.
Executive Order 13767, section 4(a).
Congress has provided to the
Secretary of Homeland Security a
number of authorities necessary to carry
out DHS’s border security mission. One
of those authorities is found at section
102 of the Illegal Immigration Reform
and Immigrant Responsibility Act of
1996, as amended (‘‘IIRIRA’’). Public
Law 104–208, Div. C, 110 Stat. 3009–
546, 3009–554 (Sept. 30, 1996) (8 U.S.C
1103 note), as amended by the REAL ID
Act of 2005, Public Law 109–13, Div. B,
119 Stat. 231, 302, 306 (May 11, 2005)
(8 U.S.C. 1103 note), as amended by the
Secure Fence Act of 2006, Public Law
109–367, section 3, 120 Stat. 2638 (Oct.
26, 2006) (8 U.S.C. 1103 note), as
amended by the Department of
Homeland Security Appropriations Act,
2008, Public Law 110–161, Div. E, Title
V, section 564, 121 Stat. 2090 (Dec. 26,
2007). In section 102(a) of IIRIRA,
Congress provided that the Secretary of
Homeland Security shall take such
actions as may be necessary to install
additional physical barriers and roads
(including the removal of obstacles to
detection of illegal entrants) in the
vicinity of the United States border to
deter illegal crossings in areas of high
illegal entry into the United States. In
section 102(b) of IIRIRA, Congress
mandated the installation of additional
fencing, barriers, roads, lighting,
cameras, and sensors on the southwest
border. Finally, in section 102(c) of
IIRIRA, Congress granted to the
Secretary of Homeland Security the
authority to waive all legal requirements
that I, in my sole discretion, determine
necessary to ensure the expeditious
construction of barriers and roads
authorized by section 102 of IIRIRA.
Determination and Waiver
Section 1
The United States Border Patrol’s
(Border Patrol) Laredo Sector is an area
of high illegal entry. In fiscal year 2019,
the Border Patrol apprehended over
38,000 illegal aliens attempting to enter
the United States between border
crossings in the Laredo Sector. In that
same time period, the Border Patrol had
over 400 drug-related events between
border crossings in the Laredo Sector,
through which it seized over 36,000
pounds of marijuana, over 500 pounds
of cocaine, over 28 pounds of heroin,
and over 500 pounds of
methamphetamine.
Owing to the high levels of illegal
entry within the Laredo Sector, I must
use my authority under section 102 of

PO 00000

Frm 00081

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

IIRIRA to install additional physical
barriers and roads in the Laredo Sector.
Therefore, DHS will take immediate
action to construct barriers and roads.
The area in the vicinity of the border
within which such construction will
occur is more specifically described in
Section 2 below.
Section 2
I determine that the following area in
the vicinity of the United States border,
located in the State of Texas within the
Laredo Sector, is an area of high illegal
entry (the ‘‘project area’’):
• Starting at the Columbia Solidarity
International Bridge and generally
following the Rio Grande River south
and east to approximately one-half (0.5)
of a mile south of the southern
boundary of the city limits of San
Ignacio, Texas.
There is presently an acute and
immediate need to construct physical
barriers and roads in the vicinity of the
border of the United States in order to
prevent unlawful entries into the United
States in the project area pursuant to
sections 102(a) and 102(b) of IIRIRA. In
order to ensure the expeditious
construction of the barriers and roads in
the project area, I have determined that
it is necessary that I exercise the
authority that is vested in me by section
102(c) of IIRIRA.
Accordingly, pursuant to section
102(c) of IIRIRA, I hereby waive in their
entirety, with respect to the
construction of physical barriers and
roads (including, but not limited to,
accessing the project areas, creating and
using staging areas, the conduct of
earthwork, excavation, fill, and site
preparation, and installation and
upkeep of physical barriers, roads,
supporting elements, drainage, erosion
controls, safety features, lighting,
cameras, and sensors) in the project
area, all of the following statutes,
including all federal, state, or other
laws, regulations, and legal
requirements of, deriving from, or
related to the subject of, the following
statutes, as amended:
The National Environmental Policy
Act (Pub. L. 91–190, 83 Stat. 852 (Jan.
1, 1970) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.)); the
