A federal appeals court allowed the administration to use a certain set of Defense Department funds for the construction of the border wall, after a lower court blocked the administration from dipping into them last month.
The ruling marks a victory for President Donald Trump, who has sought to shore up funds for his signature border wall. The money is separate from other funds that the Supreme Court allowed to be used last year.In a 2-1 ruling, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals granted a stay of a Texas judge's order, which the administration had appealed. The case is still ongoing.
He subsequently declared a national emergency to get money from other government accounts to construct sections of the wall."We don't control our own border," Trump claimed at the time."We're going to confront the national security crisis on our southern border and we're going to do it -- one way or the other we have to do it.
