Trump’s emergency declaration to build border wall faces first court test

By Fred Barbash Fred Barbash Law, constitution and courts Email Bio Follow May 16 at 8:00 AM Three months after Congress refused to fully fund President Trump’s border wall, the administration’s plan to find the money itself, including by declaring a national emergency, faces its first courtroom test on Friday.

To justify a temporary injunction, Gilliam will have to be convinced that the plaintiffs are likely to prevail on the merits after further proceedings and that allowing construction to go forward in the meantime will cause imminent harm.Whatever Gilliam, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, decides will not end the controversy.

The states focus heavily on the tumult of February and as proof that Trump made an end-run around Congress, cite his statement that, “if we don’t get a fair deal from Congress . . . I will use the powers afforded me” to finance the wall. Had Congress wanted to foreclose on any further spending on the wall, it could have said so explicitly through a rider, such as the Hyde amendment, which bars federal spending on abortion, the government argues.

Si ya tiene dos!!!!

MILIACIA is NEEDED WE ARE BEING INVADED. STOP ALL BENEFITS TO NON-CITIZENS IMMEDIATELY. EMERGENCY MEASURES ARE REQUIRED. ENTER ILLEGALLY YOU FORFEIT ALL POSSIBLE PROTECTIONS. RUN THE ADS ON TV LIKE 'THEY' ARE DOING.

Democrats support Coyotes 🤪

Who are you bozos that claim it’s a fabricated crisis.. We hate you fakers over our safety and Security. See you in 2020 losers🔥❤️🇺🇸

Over 500,000 people have crossed our border illegally this year alone.

Oh - I forgot this was still a thing. Walls, trade wars, bogus healthcare reform, White House clown car... so much Winning DerangedDonald 🙄

Have no idea how this is going to work don’t know how tall the wall will be .Its doesn’t matter how tall it is they will find away to go over don’t know how it’s going to work

Of course it will! Democrats need a way to refresh their voter rolls and allowing i!!egals to enter the country. Thanks for listening. MAGA! TRUMP2020!🇺🇸😎

Coyotes are going to love the extra profits they get when the provide the tools to get past the wall. Now immigrants will require their service. This is going to be like 1920s prohibition when the mob profited.

We need to militarize the border

This is still a thing? Oh that's right. The DOD just diverted another $1.9 billion to this unnecessary ego project, money that was to be used for something IMPORTANT. BTW trump, your immigration policy will go no where.

The current system is draining Central America. The Democrats are turning America into the Movie Space Ship emptying worlds of their life and moving on. The elites find serfs useful, but it is all too reminiscent of plantations.

Right. The disappearing-reappearing caravan of 'really bad' brown people that's magically liked to elections and assorted WH scandal?

Gasta el dinero en un muro , mientras tiene gente durmiendo en la calle , familias pasando hambre , niños y ancianos que no tienen una asistencia sanitaria buena ,etc.... Espero que la gente no vote por a Trump.

Court test? We need more wall

let me guess, the judge is a trump sympathizer like the GOP are

Good thing Mexico hasn't invented ladders yet.

Deport ALL illegals along with their children. NO more birthright citizenship, no more taking in illegal aliens crumb-crunchers, not our job. Deport all now and build the wall. It's crystal clear that trump has never helped an ounce of respect for his mother. What was that old saying about deplorables? Trump sure lives up to the reputation his sheeple demand. Racists

Trump immigration plan includes civics tests for legal entrants, border security boostIn addition to mandated checks like a health screening and background check, immigrants would be required to pass a civics test. They would then receive points based on age, English proficiency, offer of employment and education levels. What about Daca? This points system is obviously a Trump family fantasy. Did Trump just say applicants for citizenship must pass a physics exam It's dead on arrival to Congress because the Democrats don't care about it. They want the illegals here so that they can vote. They are sealing their own fate for the 2020 election. Trump will be re-elected.
