Private group that vowed to build border wall puts up New Mexico segment

The group started as a massive GoFundMe campaign to help the government pay for Trump's border wall. Then, they decided to just build it themselves.

A leader with the group that's been raising funds to build a southern border wall on its own says they erected less than a mile of wall on private land in New Mexico over Memorial Day weekend.

Dustin Stockton, co-founder of the nonprofit WeBuildtheWall Inc., told The Associated Press Monday that they spent about 10 days moving dirt before starting construction Friday.

He said the wall segment in Sunland Park is "mostly up" and should be completed by the end of the week.
