Trump claimed to have built "over 100 miles" of a "long, tall and very powerful" border wall.
Facts First: US Customs and Border Protection said that, as of January 31, 115 miles of “new border wall system” had been built. The overwhelming majority has replaced dilapidated barriers with a new, enhanced wall system. Around one mile has been built where there was no previous barrier.
The Trump administration calls all miles “new,” arguing that it is all a major improvement on what was there before. Critics scoff at the inclusion of replacement and reinforcement barriers in the “new” category, yet administration officials have stood by their classification.
"One thing I want to emphasize is that every inch of the 100 miles that we have constructed is new border wall system," acting DHS chief Chad Wolf said in January. "It's not so-called replacement wall, as some of our critics claimed. It is new wall."
