One prediction market prices this story:

  • Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 24%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if physical construction work on federal border security infrastructure inside Big Bend National Park resumes after the news story is published and before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the date of the judge's ruling for the deadline, but the actual deadline is January 1, 2027.
