Ruling is latest setback for US president ahead of 2020 election. FMTNews Mexico
The Trump administration claims it has built 83 miles of border wall with another 153 miles under construction.
The ruling is a setback for Trump, whose administration has vowed to build at least 450 miles of wall along the border by November 2020, when the US presidential election will take place. Trump has argued the wall will deter illegal border crossings, a major focus of his presidency.Trump declared a national emergency last February in order to transfer funds from the Pentagon to build the wall after Congress refused to provide the level of funding he sought.
He said in that ruling that the transfer of the military funds was unlawful because it went against the intent outlined by Congress in the spending bill it passed in January 2019.
