The Trump administration can't divert Pentagon funds to build a wall at the US-Mexico border, a federal appeals court rules
In a 2-1 ruling, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals said that the transfer of $2.5 billion circumvented Congress, which holds the authority to appropriate money. The legal fight over Defense Department funds stems from Trump's national emergency declaration on the US-Mexico border last year. Trump extended the declaration this past February, even as border arrests began to decline.
"There's no undoing the damage that's been done, but we will be back before the Supreme Court to finally put a stop to this destructive wall."Three years into his presidency, Trump has faced a host of legal challenges over his border wall and his attempt to bolster the effort with additional funds from other government accounts.Still, the President has touted progress of his border wall.
