Miles Completed = Miles completed during Trump's 2nd term + 644 completed during Trump's 1st term (82 of which is non-federal such as from Operation Lone Star in Texas which was constructed primarily during Biden's term)
Pre-Construction = All the numbers under Planned and Awarded.  This does not include "Waterborne Barrier System" or "Secondary Border Wall" memo post

Note: There was a 10 mile error in the calculations before 5/11/26.  After I correct the error, I will remove this note.

Completed: Border wall is up and running.
Under Construction: Wall that is actively being built.
Pre-Construction: Land has been secured.  Just waiting on construction crews to start work.

Note: Updates are weekly and typically on the same day of the week in a given month.  For example, it may occur every Monday in February, but every Wednesday in March.  Updates are typically posted on x around 10 to 10:30 am Central time.  Not often, but there may be a few weeks where there are no updates.  I will try to limit my sources for updates to officials from CBP.

02/17/20: Highest number of pre-construction border wall at 417 miles.

07/13/20: Highest number of miles of the border wall being actively built at 342.
07/27/20: Highest weekly increase in border wall completed at 11 miles.
