United States Latest News, United States Headlines

In a 56-page ruling, Judge Haywood Gilliam of the Northern District of California blocked the administration from moving forward with specific projects in Texas and Arizona, saying Trump couldn't disburse the funds without congressional approval. The lawsuit that prompted the ruling was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the plaintiffs, the Sierra Club and Southern Border Communities Coalition.

The proclamation prompted a slew of lawsuits.The lawsuit that prompted Friday's ruling argues that the declaration was"made solely out of disagreement with Congress's decision about the proper funding level, location, and timetable for constructing a border wall." It also alleges that the construction of the wall would negatively impact the environment and communities along the border.CNN has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.

realDonaldTrump Gilliam needs to be removed from the bench immediately! He has no integrity whatsoever! We dont need Liberal activists judges who make decisions based on their political donations!

It’s “Our” wall asshats.

This Judge must be disbarred from the bench, arrested by the U.S. Military tried for treason and executed by a firing squad immediately!

Cool. More drugs and human trafficking. Democrats must be happy

don't they see what a shit show the border is? Trump should get a medal not blockages

The judges be crazy

The ppl destroying USA need to take these ppl in there home they don’t want Americans safe

CNN OPEN Boders NoW! we must impeach TRUMP so we can Tax the AMERICAN's for more money to supply mass immigration with housing, medical insurance and food stamps. And two cars.

Yay

Activists unelected judges...

Good taking money from the Defense Dept., isn't right, the lost money means less money for the men and women in the forces to do the job.

What do you expect, this so-called judge was appointed by Anti American Obama. Obama didn't care about Americia and Americans and neither does this judge.

Tar and feather these liberal judges.

We still have to see real terrorists no matter were they come in.Need that money. Chance we shouldn't take still.

Yes that funding should be used for improved body armor or body bags for his war with Iran

Why do the Democrats want open boarders? They do everything in their power to stop a securing them. You don’t think the illegals are taking this as Democrats policy with the welcome mat out.

This should read...”...A Northern California Liberal Federal Judge....” Garbage... Democrats care more for illegal immigrants than American citizens...

Supreme Court here we come!!

Trump won’t care he will still take the money

realDonaldTrump It’s a Liberal activist judge from Northern District of CA, prob from SF, what else would you expect from a sanctuary city judge! Time for these Liberal activitists judges to be removed from the bench and held accountable for not abiding by U.S. federal laws!

He will win on appeal. He predicted this ruling.

Mexico should be made a part of the US. Then we wouldn't need a fence!

Stupid judge

There is a army of military trained terrorists in Mexico and other south american countries there called cartels that have killed more of there own people than people killed in lsreal iraq syria and syria and thats not counting americans killed by drugs ...fact

A federal judge fancies himself with more authority than the President- leftist trash

And some idiot republican rep refused to fund emergency aid because it did not include any money for the wall...seriously think about it...is the so-called border emergency greater than all the lives being impacted by the tornadoes...

Too funny, building a wall is not unconstitutional and judges who legislate from the bench need to be arrested, tried and sent to prison. No doubt SCOTUS will reverse this madness.

😂😂😂😂 he’s so determined

That will be overruled quickly. He has every right to do so.

Someone with integrity finally

NEW: Finally, The Angry 'Trump Must Be Impeached' Video You've Been Waiting For (WATCH NOW)

We all want secure borders. Most of us know that people come through the legal ports of entry and overstay their visas. most of us don't want the president going outside of his authority to take money that wasn't allocated for that use.

What’s he gonna do if trump pays no attention to his “order” ?

Trump has been having a bad week with judges.

We will see what the Supreme court says !

It’s not a wall... call it what it is ... it’s a fence

Wait, what?!?

A worthless anti-American who should be thrown out

That too will be overturned these judges can also visit the border

What a joke our judiciary has become. Trump has absolute authority to issue a national emergency and allocate funds for that emergency. A judge in California rules that NE funds can’t be used in TX and AZ just proves they judge shopped on this one - Big Time. SCOTUS reversal.

Thanks Obama judge

How can he do that? What’s his jurisdiction? Who had standing to block it? In which court? You don’t like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Why cheer this?

What is our country without a border?

195 federal judges being replaced, 2 supreme court seats being changed and 82,000 plus sealed indictments. The storm is coming

A stupid judge...not the 1st one

We are no longer a sovereign nation. We are now the United States of MexAmerica.

Wait..... I thought Mexico was paying for it? Just another lie in the longgggggggggggg list of lies.

Appeal !!!!

Judicial tyranny

I thought Mexico was going to pay for the wallyea right..No matter what he builds he broke his promise..Mexico is not paying for the wall..Us tax payers will be!

Is the next step for Trump to refuse to obey a Court order? He refuses subpoenas from the House.

BREAKING NEWS Borderless D Crooks keeping secret - unfunded liabilities up to $ 2.4 trillion SaturdayThoughts Real possibility 'Tax franchise' to tax citizens moved out from CA. CA State income tax %13.5 in TX, FL etc is 0 Democrats to MAGA

Another Obama judge. Will be overturned.

Another democratically appointed judge stops the wall glad they can separate politics from the bench and act independently.

Mexico is in charge of your defense dept?

Protect our borders

Then build the wall in Az,Tx. & NM. & forget California. They want & harbor illegals anyway. The great Sanctuary State of California.💩💩💩💩

let me guess, judge is in CA?

Now wait for a second.... Why would a judge overrule a President for wanting to protect Americans and our sovereignty?! Think about it folks. The Defense department said they have the funds and that wouldn't affect their budget but the judge doesn't care?!

Good

Supreme Court will overturn this. Delay tactic and they know it

Haha

And they should, he said . Mexico was gonna pay for the wall so why take money from our defense the pay for his wall he said Mexico was on pay for

Judge appointed by Obama, tell me again how our judicial system is not political

America, in 2020 at least kick the tires this time.

Under a State of Emergency, he can do this!

Dont worry President Trump will make a plan. His always a hundred steps ahead of the liberals.

Parts is the key word

middle class reaction on trump

CNN never notes an Obama appointed judge.

Those funds are only for the military!! Not the wall!!!

Yes and then cry about people dying at the border later.

Another case of liberal meltdown. maga BuildTheWall

Dump Trump!
