US federal appeals court has lifted a lower court's order that had blocked the Trump admin. from using Defense Dept. money to build sections of a barrier on the southern border.

"The government is entitled to the same relief here," the appeals court said in its brief order. The court found"a substantial likelihood" that the Texas groups also lacked the proper legal standing. Those groups said some of the border wall would be built in southern New Mexico, a two-hour drive from El Paso, and would discourage tourism in the area and harm the community's immigrant population.

Kristy Parker of Project Democracy, which represented the wall's opponents in filing the lawsuit, said,"It's unfortunate that the people of El Paso will continue to suffer harm while the government appeals, but we're confident that we'll prevail again in this next stage of litigation."
