A federal judge has recommended that construction of a border wall near a wildlife refuge be paused. This decision comes after a lawsuit was filed by an irrigation district that owns a canal in the area. The lawsuit claims that the government's construction contractors trespassed on the district's property.

The pause in construction will remain in effect until the trespassing claims are resolved. A US Magistrate Judge made the recommendation after reviewing the lawsuit. Further details about the case and the judge's decision are available from the source. The construction project is located near the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge.
