The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that Parsons Government Services Inc. will oversee and manage the completion of the border wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border. The selection comes after a competitive bidding process involving numerous companies.
The contract with Parsons is part of an effort to build on previous progress made during President Donald Trump’s earlier term, aiming to accelerate the project’s completion by using private sector expertise. DHS officials say this approach will help ensure that construction remains on schedule and within budget, while also managing taxpayer funds efficiently.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, “With President Trump back in office, we have delivered the most secure border in American history – and we did so in the immediate aftermath of the worst border crisis in history that came from four years of Joe Biden’s disastrous open-borders policy. This administration understood that we needed to hit the ground running and produce results right away, and that’s what we did. For the last nine months in a row, Border Patrol has released zero illegal aliens into the interior of the country, while CBP recorded the lowest total number of encounters in the agency’s history in 2025. Now, we’re ready to move forward with completing President Trump’s border wall. We’re accelerating our efforts by using private sector expertise with the unprecedented level of investment from President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Act.”
Parsons will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of construction under funding provided by President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The act allocated $46.5 billion for completing the border wall—the largest investment in border security in decades—and its funds are not affected by potential government shutdowns.
The legislation supports not only physical barriers but also upgrades such as advanced technology at ports of entry, modernization of vehicle fleets, facility improvements, increased hiring, and expanded training capacity for Customs and Border Protection personnel.
According to statements made by Secretary Noem on The Dan Bongino show, DHS expects to finish construction on schedule by early 2028.
