5. This the so called "law and order" party... right?

The local city ordinance says "a wall can only be six feet tall". Mayor Perea said the border wall stands at roughly 20 feet, with seven feet buried beneath the ground. Nor was a necessary environmental survey study completed, he said. Sunland Park city officials declared the construction application incomplete because it lacked a site plan development and included contradictory information around the construction.

The property owner may have also breached the restriction from the International Water and Boundary Commission, which oversees water and boundary issues between the United States and Mexico.
