A developer of some Ruby Gems pulled the code as a statement against certain entities (Department of Homeland Security — DHS) ultimately using the code. Chef gets owned in the process.
ZDNet has a good rundown of the incident:

It seems that developers at chef may have used an old copy of the dev's code to get things back up and running again, which seems like exactly the wrong approach.

500 miles??? Holy shit you'll accept any BS as fact that they spew at you on that propaganda channel. Try 13 miles [bbc.com], which hasn't even been built yet.
And don't be too impressed with any of this on account of the way he is trying to do it is unconstitutional and against the law, particularly telling subordinates to knowingly break the law and unlawfully seize property and that he would pardon them if they get arrested and charged.
And how much of this is Mexico paying for? That was the foundation of that campaign promise. Building it to fulfill a promise doesn't count when you don't fulfill the promise.
