Noem announced on Tuesday that the entire wall along the southern border will be painted black as part of an effort to reduce illegal crossings into the United States.

The wall along the southern border will be painted black in an effort to make the structure too hot to climb, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Tuesday, saying the suggestion came from President Donald Trump.
