Federal judge blocks billions in Pentagon funding from paying for border wall


(Worthy News) – A federal judge has blocked President Trump from diverting Pentagon funds from various military projects toward building a wall on the United States’ southern border.

Judge David Briones of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas issued the block in response to a lawsuit by El Paso County, Texas, and the Border Network for Human Rights.

“The President’s emergency proclamation was a blatant attempt to grab power from Congress. Today’s order affirms that the President is not a king and that our courts are willing to check him when he oversteps his bounds,” Kristy Parker, an attorney for the litigants, said in a statement.
