BREAKING: @CountyofElPaso & @border_human just filed to have #SCOTUS review their case challenging Trump's misuse of DoD funds to circumvent Congress for his border wall. #EndTheEmergency protectdemocracy.org/update/el-paso…
A related case faced SCOTUS's "shadow docket." But every lower court to rule on Trump's abuses of power found his actions illegal. We can't let this constitutional crisis face the "shadow docket" again. SCOTUS must decide the case. slate.com/news-and-polit…

While #SCOTUS should take the case, Congress must also reassert itself as a co-equal branch of govt & reform the National Emergencies Act (NEA) to prevent future executive power abuses, regardless of who is in the White House. protectdemocracy.org/project/nation…
Trump wanted to bypass our system of checks & balances to build his #borderwall. Last week, yet ANOTHER fed court blocked him and affirmed that presidents can’t declare fake emergencies for political gain. aclu.org/legal-document…
Our case challenging Trump’s nat’l emergency declaration to build the #borderwall argues that federal law doesn't allow presidents to declare fake emergencies when they disagree w/Congress. Nat’l emergencies aren't political tools. #EndTheEmergency protectdemocracy.org/project/el-pas…
Our Constitution established the separation of powers so that we have a President, not a King. Congress has the power of the purse, and Trump can’t override it. We will hold him to what the Constitution says. So will the courts.
BREAKING: Today, a court granted our request for a *nationwide* injunction blocking construction on President Trump’s border wall! This is a huge victory for the people of El Paso & for democracy. protectdemocracy.org/update/breakin… #EndTheEmergency
Today’s order comes after a ruling in favor of our plaintiffs, @CountyofElPaso & @BNHR. The court held that @POTUS’s national emergency declaration was invalid & the admin’s redirection of federal funds to border wall construction was unlawful. protectdemocracy.org/resource-libra…
Thank you to our cross-partisan legal team for protecting the Constitution’s separation of powers and defending our democracy! @NiskanenCenter, @tribelaw, @omelvenymyers, Wilkie Farr & Gallagher, & Stuart Gerson

This is a powerful message to the Admin. and those Trump has encouraged to ignore the law in order to build the wall: The courts can and will check abuses of power.

Today’s fed court ruling blocking Trump’s unlawful nat’l emergency declaration strengthens the rights of those damaged directly—the El Paso community and the Border of Network for Human Rights. #EndTheEmergency
