Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
announced on Tuesday that the entire southern border wall will be
painted black as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to increase
the effectiveness of the wall as a deterrent.

Noem said the new paintwork comes at the request of President Donald Trump.
