A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from diverting millions of dollars in funding from a project at a military base to border wall construction

A federal judge in Washington state on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from diverting millions of dollars in funding from a project at a base in the state to border wall construction, delivering a partial blow to President Donald Trump.

The lawsuit relates to Trump's national emergency declaration, which allowed the administration to dip into Pentagon funds, including redirecting money intended for military construction projects to the wall. A slew of states and organizations have sued the administration over the declaration. Thursday's ruling is specific to one of the projects targeted to have its funds redirected.

It will be overturned!

The wall works. The wall is needed. Imagine if the virus became rampant in Mexico, and illegals come through unknowingly. That should scare everyone.

Why ?

How much personal property is being lost to this wall? How many feet between trump name placards?

The Supreme Court already ruled on this, ignore the liberal activist Judge

Good!!

WE need to build a wall around CNN and that Hack DON LEMON!!

Who are these activists judges? They need to be fired

“Makes Sense, actually too much sense”..Morrison was unapologetic, saying Australia's policy would not change and telling Ardern that his country's 'very clear view' is that 'if you have committed a crime and you're not a citizen of Australia, then you have no right to stay.'

When does a judge get convicted of poor judgement?

You people are so naive if you think this money is being pulled from any thing but healthcare for our military veteran. That is the first thing they always cut. But keep pumping that Trump train... You people always know best!

psychologyofjoy

A federal hack “judge”! Appeal coming

Yes

Judges may be the ones to save us from his insanity.

Good. Last thing we need is strong borders when a pandemic is happening. Come as you are. Honor system to don't come in if you're sick 😷😷😷

I really don’t understand American law. How can a judge tell an agency where they can spend their money? And then another judge will overturn that judges decision and then another judge from a different area will double block both judges decisions.

No boarders no control, those with infectious viruses can walk right on in,and we see how quickly this can spread, or something worse.

Cant be true, aren't Mexico paying for the wall

Here comes the judge!

Thought Mexico were paying for it?

Then complain if the coronavirus enters, tank God you have a presidente enable to protect you country. In opposite... in Italy🇮🇹. Rip🇮🇹

Mexico will pay for the Wall.

realDonaldTrump Mexico will pay for the Wall.

Yea! What's the need waisting all these money on a border wall that next generations would pull down again?

We should totally and completely shut off our borders until the CoronaVirus is contained This is a national security and economic security issue Time to get smart and tough and secure our country The Dems & the News Media are using this as a disgusting way to attack Trump.

. . . Gotta be a Democrat judge. . . .

It’ll just be another week.

Stop taking millions of dollars from funding projects at our military bases for personal vanity! I served in the 80’s, when we were living, training & working in 20-30 year old facilities. Treat our troops & military families better! IMHO

Another swamp creature thst needs replaced

CNN ENEMY OF AMERICA

Good Trump can go ask Mexico for the money or his rally crowds can pay .

Funny how they are trying to keep Mexicans out when there are over 20 cases of COVID9 in the states. Should be careful how you treat your neighbors never know when you may have to flee.

You’re a disgrace. I left Dem party to vote for realDonaldTrump bc it was clear during ‘16 election that MSM was shilling for Dems to such an extreme it showed your hand. 4 yrs later I see I made the right choice. You’re truly the EnemyOfThePeople

Cnn sucks

Sotomayor's gonna get pissed again...

Wait a minute here. We were told by the Trumpeter that Mexico was doing the paying for the wall?

Fkn lie. Lie. Lie. Morons

Disgraceful.

All in all its just another hitch for the wall..

Good the US needs more drugs , criminals and diseases!

We need wall and security more than ever , these liberal nut bags need to let the President do what we elected him too do!!!

He literally has done nothing for this country. Its all been blocked by federal and state judges. He needs to know when to quit....

9th circuit will over turn.

The funds were approved by Congress for the military. Although I don't agree with it because the military gets way too much money, Congress controls the money. Not dimwit Donnie.

Be happy about open borders with anyone comming in then blame Trump if the coronavirus spreads. CNN truly are the enemy of the people. Idiots

Awesome. Unsecured borders and global pandemics are a great mix!!

Let me guess .. an obama judge ?

They probably need the money to patch the hundreds of holes cut by a Lowes saw. What complete idiots

Trump should resign

Just a Obana Fed Judge. That’s ok. First Coronavirus that walks into unsecured Non barrier area. Filing charges against the Fed Judge. Not protecting US Citizens

trumpisantichrist

A single circuit judge should not have total power over the Executive Branch of government. That ruling should only affect that federal judges district.

Won’t be blocked for long!

Hey look...a judge in the Ninth Circuit blocked something Trump did. And hey look...what the judge - from Washington state - blocked was the diversion of funds from a construction project in...wait for it...Washington state.

🙄🙄😴😴

What happened to Mexico paying for the wall? And why a wall when all the mass killings are coming from inside the wall by Trumpublicans

Hahaha trumpets are big mad this week

Thank you 🙏. This administration definitely have their priorities all screwed up. 🙏💙🙏❤️🇺🇸. Take care of the military and not their own egos. Build bridges and not walls. Come together and not dividend. We need to get our country back to where it was before and not backwards

The 'Trump administration' didn't try to divert the funds. The DeptofDefense initiated it. Educate YOURSELVES your IGNORANCE is STILL showing.

WOW , military , all is not LOST‼️

wonderful... maybe we can save thousands of life's by preventing the Corona virus to walk across our open borders.

🤗 Maybe he should have appointed more judges!

The construction project at the centre of the lawsuit is at Naval Submarine Base ,Bangor.

Build the wall!

Well, the question is who it going to paid for that wall?

Too bad the Supreme Court overrules this putz! Enjoy the wall!

Judge Barbara Jacob Rothstein barred the administration from dipping into the nearly $90 million allocated for the project , but did not halt the use of military construction funds for border wall altogether.

Good

isnt securing a country‘s border more important than anything else given the illegal immigration problem the U.S is having?12million and counting undocumented,how did that happen? very weak immigrantion laws. start by charging per day anyone who overstays their visas. fixed

But but but,he loves the military

Someone is trying too hard to get an erection.

awww that's too bad! been trying to tell ya realDonaldTrump!!! jacking with federal judges might not be the best idea! :)

Blocked for now, Supreme Court will over rule this political democrat judge.

Well...so much for trying to prevent people from walking across with COVID-19

Did we get the check from Mexico yet?

Well, they need to be “retired” and replaced.

Well judge, how about we divert the money for the base, to the wall...then we get Mexico to do the work on our base !

The lawsuit relates to Trump's emergency declaration , which allowed the administration to dip into Pentagon's funds.

Yeeeeaaaaaaaahh 😀

terilg

I’m so tired of the liberals not letting our president do what we elected him to do. We the people mandated that he do this.

You know trump will try to divert funding that is proposed in fighting the virus...to building the wall, and then blame it on pence when he is called out on it.

Good, so far he’s only built one mile of new wall/fence. More waste of taxpayers money

Again?

Fake News CNN can’t even spell check.

Federal judge in Washington state blocks administration from diverting some funds for border wall construction.

Imagine if Obama had diverted military funds to boost his ego. 'He doesn't care about our troops! He's evil!'

Who needs dollars when you’re getting all those FREE PESOS you promised, Mr. Deal-Maker

TrumpIsAnIdiot

YES !

Trump and his administration are just a bunch of lunatics.

Great idea, do you guy's get paid from the Dept. of the Navy? SecureDrop?

Haha

Wall is a waste anyhow

lmfao

I can’t wait until white people are the minority in this country. -a white guy

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to request $8.5 billion from federal government to combat coronavirus: CNNSenate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, is prepping a request for $8.5 billion from the U.S. federal government to help combat the coronavirus that has now sickened more than 80,000 people around the world, CNN reported Wednesday, citing an unnamed senior Senate Democratic aide. The request is expected to set up a battle with the administration of President Donald Trump, which earlier this week requested just $2.5 billion in funding. Fears that the virus, which broke out in Wuhan, China late last year and has since spread to more than 34 countries, will spread in the U.S. are rising after health officials on Tuesday said Americans should start making contingency plans. Schumer has already criticized the administration for failing to react to the potential crisis. "We've seen no sign that President Trump has any plan or urgency to deal with the spread of the coronavirus -- we need real leadership and we need it fast," Schumer said. Trump is scheduled to hold a press conference on the virus at 6 p.m.
