DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
Determination and Waiver
Determination Pursuant to Section 102
of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996,
as Amended
Office of the Secretary, (DHS).
Notice of determination.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The 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 Starr County, Texas.
DATES: This determination takes effect
on October 5, 2023.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Important
missions of the Department of
Homeland Security (‘‘DHS’’) include
border security. 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 section 102 of the
Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996,
as amended (‘‘IIRIRA’’). Public Law

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, sec. 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, sec.
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
called on the Secretary to construct
reinforced fencing on the southwest
border and provide for 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.
Section 1
The United States Border Patrol’s
(Border Patrol) Rio Grande Valley Sector
is an area of ‘‘high illegal entry.’’ As of
early August 2023, Border Patrol had
encountered over 245,000 such entrants
attempting to enter the United States
between ports of entry in the Rio Grande
Valley Sector in Fiscal Year 2023.
Therefore, I must use my authority
under section 102 of IIRIRA to install
additional physical barriers and roads in
the Rio Grande Valley Sector. Therefore,
DHS will take immediate action to
construct barriers and roads.
Construction will be funded by a fiscal
year 2019 appropriation through which
Congress appropriated funds for the
construction border barrier in the Rio
Grande Valley, and DHS is required to
use those funds for their appropriated
purpose. This project is consistent with
DHS’s plan to fulfill the requirements of
President Biden’s Proclamation
(Proclamation No. 10142, 86 FR 7225
(Jan. 20, 2021)), which ended the
diversion of funds for border wall from
military projects or other sources while
calling for the expenditure of any funds
Congress appropriated for barrier
construction consistent with their
appropriated purpose. The areas in the
PO 00000

vicinity of the border within which such
construction will occur are more
specifically described in Section 2
below. Such areas are not located within
any of the areas identified in section 231
of title II of division A of the Fiscal Year
2019 DHS Appropriations Act. See
Public Law 116–6, Div. A, Title II, sec.
231.
Section 2
As set forth in section 102(a) of
IIRIRA, I determine that the following
areas in the vicinity of the United States
border, located in the State of Texas
within the Border Patrol’s Rio Grande
Valley Sector, are areas of ‘‘high illegal
entry’’ (the ‘‘project areas’’):
• Starting approximately one mile
south of the Falcon Dam and extending
southeast for approximately two miles.
• Starting at the southeast boundary
of the Arroyo Morteros Tract of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley National
Wildlife Refuge and extending southeast
for approximately one mile.
• Starting at the northernmost
boundary of the Las Ruinas Tract of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley National
Wildlife Refuge and extending north for
approximately one mile.
• Starting at the eastern boundary of
the Arroyo Ramirez Tract of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife
Refuge and extending east for
approximately one-half mile.
• Starting one-half mile south of the
intersection of Perez Road and U.S.
Highway 83 and generally following the
Rio Grande River to approximately onequarter mile south and east of the
intersection of Leos Road and U.S.
Highway 83.
• Starting approximately threequarters of a mile southeast of the
intersection of North Redwoods Street
and U.S. Highway 83 and extending
southeast to the northwest boundary of
the Los Velas West Tract of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife
Refuge.
• Starting approximately one-tenth
(0.1) of a mile south of the intersection
of Trophy Street and Moonbeam Street
and extending east to approximately one
mile south of the intersection of Los
Olmitos Road and Farm to Market Road
1430.
• Starting approximately one mile
south of the intersection of Los Olmitos
Road and Farm to Market Road 1430
and extending southeast to the
northwest boundary of the La Casita
East Tract of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley National Wildlife Refuge.
• Starting approximately one mile
