Democrats in Congress are asking the Trump administration to suspend construction of the border wall during the coronavirus pandemic.
U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Laredo and more than 90 other lawmakers urged Homeland Security on Wednesday to think about the safety of construction workers, police officers, and residents in areas where the wall is being built.
Democrats want the money being spent on the wall to be used instead to fight the virus.
Construction on the wall has been allowed to continue because it’s considered essential.
