On Jan. 9, 2023, the Daily Mail reported on construction at U. S. President Joe Biden's Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, beach home. The project, the Daily Mail reported, is the addition of a large security wall, and is funded by the Department of Homeland Security: These statements are factual. They can be verified through the U.S. government website usaspending.gov — a database of government contracts. The contract discussed by the Daily Mail is for the purchase and installation of security fencing at the address of Biden's Rehoboth beach property. The secret service regularly provides security enhancements to the private residences of presidents. They also sometimes enhance the security at the private residences of former presidents. In fact, the cost of the Biden wall is less than the cost of another Department of Homeland Security contract awarded to provide Mar-a-Lago — former president Donald Trump's private residence — with a physical security build-out upgrade. The price tag on that project, which began after Trump left office, was $580,600. Because taxpayers are funding the construction of a wall around Biden's Rehoboth Beach property, the claim is True.
