Appeals Court Rules For Trump Taking Military Money For Wall

Houston (AP) – A federal appeals court has ruled that a lower court was wrong to bar the Trump administration from taking $3.6 billion from military construction projects for a border wall. A panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Friday that El Paso County and the nonprofit Border Network for Human Rights did not have the standing to challenge President Donald Trump’s redirecting funds from more than 100 military construction projects. The appeals court ruled that neither the county nor the Border Network proved it was directly harmed by Trump’s move.
