Outcome
Accurate Happened 31 December 2020.
CBP said the 450th mile of new border wall system was completed on December 31, 2020, and DHS announced it on January 5, 2021. Most of it (about 370 miles) replaced older, smaller barriers, with roughly 80 miles in places that had no barrier before. The quote did not say "new" miles, so it is scored accurate.
