BREAKING: We just won our lawsuit blocking Trump from abusing emergency powers to begin construction on a border wall Congress denied him.
This ruling, which permanently blocks the administration from using nearly $3 billion in illegally diverted funds for wall construction, is a win for the Constitution and our border communities.
While declaring the national emergency, Trump stated he “didn’t need to do this” but he’d prefer to build the wall “much faster.” He added that he declared a national emergency because he was “not happy” that Congress “skimped” on the wall by denying him the billions he demanded.
