The Supreme Court on Friday handed President Trump a major victory by clearing the way for him to divert $2.5 billion from the military’s budget and use it to build an extra 100 miles of border wall in California, Arizona and New Mexico.
Trump’s lawyers had asked the high court to intervene, saying it faced a Sept. 30 deadline to spend $2.5 billion from the Pentagon’s budget before the fiscal year ended and the money was no longer available.Lower courts had said Trump’s move to divert the money was an end run around Congress, which had specifically refused to allocate money for a wall.
After signing the deal, the president declared a national emergency and said he had the authority to transfer already appropriated funds to extend the border wall.Lawyers for the Sierra Club, the Southern Border Communities Coalition and the ACLU sued, arguing that construction of a 30-foot-high wall would harm wildlife and damage the environment in remote areas.U.S. Solicitor Gen.
