Trump says he will appeal judge's ruling blocking $1 billion in Pentagon funds for border wall
A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked part of President Donald Trump's efforts to use money intended for military use to instead fund construction of a wall along the nation's southern border with Mexico. But this ruling was far from being the final word on the matter, with Trump saying Saturday he intends to appeal the decision.
He wrote that the Trump administration's"position that when Congress declines the Executive’s request to appropriate funds, the Executive nonetheless may simply find a way to spend those funds “without Congress” does not square with fundamental separation of powers principles dating back to the earliest days of our Republic."
In a footnote in Friday's ruling, Gilliam noted that this $1.571 billion has thus far only been used to build "1.7 miles of fencing." In fact, President Trump tweeted Saturday afternoon during his visit to Japan that he intends to appeal the ruling. Given Barr's and the administration's attitude toward what they view as judicial overreach, there is little doubt that Gilliam's injunction will be appealed to the Ninth Circuit, a court that Trump has previously publicly derided for ruling against him.
