BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) - The Department of Homeland Security has denied Cameron County's proposal to combine its levee improvements with a border wall.

Border fence construction has not started in Cameron County, and officials had hoped to reach a compromise similar to that in neighboring Hidalgo where a combined border wall/levee project is under way.
