U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam Jr.'s order prevents work from beginning on two of the highest-priority, Pentagon-funded wall projects — one spanning 46 miles in New Mexico and another covering 5 miles in Yuma, Arizona.
It wasn't a total defeat for the administration. Gilliam, an Oakland-based appointee of President Barack Obama, rejected a request by California and 19 other states to prevent the diversion of hundreds of millions of dollars in Treasury asset forfeiture funds to wall construction, in part because he felt they were unlikely to prevail on arguments that the administration skirted environmental impact reviews.
At stake is billions of dollars that would allow Trump to make progress in a signature campaign promise heading into his campaign for a second term. The Defense Department has already transferred the counterdrug money. Patrick Shanahan, the acting defense secretary, is expected to decide any day whether to transfer the military construction funds.
The Army Corps of Engineers recently announced several large contacts with Pentagon funding. Last month, SLSCO Ltd. of Galveston, Texas, won a $789 million award to replace 46 miles of barrier in New Mexico — the one that Gilliam blocked on Friday.
We need a border wall. That judge is obviously clueless.
“Judge” - no, a POLITICAL ACTIVIST masquerading as a judge!
This man is working against the interest of middle class, tax paying Americans.

Trump and his family from Deutsche Bank and Capital One. More Presidential harassment. So once again an EQUAL branch of government rose up and did their job. Time for congress to do the same. The banks should also give all the financial information on everyone in Congress. Bet we would be doing a lot of house cleaning.

Judge Rejects Trump Request to Block Subpoena for Accounting RecordsA federal judge has rejected a request from President Trump to block a House panel subpoena seeking his accounting records. So what? That judge has no power over Trump. What's he going to do, send the police after him? Lol. NOT! The executive branch is in charge of enforcing the law. If Trump doesn't want to enforce the law on himself, no one can make him. Learn to Constitution, libbies! Who needs privacy rights? Trump can only use lawyers so much to delay. As of now, it would be very hard for him to delay anymore.
