BREAKING: We’re pressing on in our fight against @realDonaldTrump fake emergency for his #BorderWall. On behalf of El Paso Cty & @border_human we’ve just urged a federal appeals court to uphold a decision blocking Trump’s illegal end-run around Congress & the Constitution.
#Coronavirus makes clear there’s a time & place for an emergency proclamation. It’s also clearer than ever that @realDonaldTrump “emergency” on the southern border was fake and just an excuse to override Congress to grab power.
Every court to rule on the merits of @realDonaldTrump fake emergency for his #BorderWall has declared his moves to steal 💰from the @DeptofDefense ILLEGAL. We’ve just urged the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to do the same. protectdemocracy.org/update/el-paso…
.@realDonaldTrump won’t stop trying to steal 💰from @DeptofDefense so we won’t stop our efforts to defend the rule of law.
We just filed a brief urging a federal appeals court to uphold a decision blocking Trump's #BorderWall and fake 'national emergency'
Q: What do you call presidential defiance of Congress to steal 💰from the military for a pet project?
A: Abuse of power
That's not how our democracy works. So we've urged a federal appeals court to block the @realDonaldTrump #BorderWall and his fake 'national emergency'
