A Judge Ruled House Democrats Can't Sue Trump Over The Border Wall
WASHINGTON — House Democrats on Monday lost the first round in the court fight over the Trump administration's plan to reprogram billions of dollars in federal funds to pay for a wall along the US–Mexico border.for a preliminary injunction blocking the administration's plan, which involves moving around money from US Department of Defense sources and the US Treasury.
McFadden wrote that he wasn't saying Congress could never sue the executive branch"to protect its powers," but at least in this case, the House had failed to show it had standing to sue. Democrats argued that because Congress explicitly chose not to give the administration the money Trump wanted to pay for construction of barriers at the US–Mexico border, Trump's plan to use alternative sources violated the Constitution's Appropriations Clause as well as other federal law.
