Appeals court rejects Trump’s request for border wall funding

(Worthy News) – The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday rejected the Trump administration’s allocation of $2.5 billion from the Department of Defense to pay for construction of physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The appeals court ruled 2-1 against the lifting of a lower court’s decision to block President Donald Trump’s move to use money allocated for Army personnel needs on border wall construction stating, “the use of those funds violates the constitutional requirement that the Executive Branch not spend money absent an appropriation from Congress.” [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]
