A federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama has partially blocked President Donald Trump’s plan to fund construction of his long-promised border wall.
The preliminary injunction, issued Friday by California U.S. District Court Judge Haywood Gilliam, reportedly bars the Pentagon from transferring $1 billion from counterdrug funding to expand or enhance border barriers. According to Politico, it also “appears to jeopardize another $1.5 billion of the $8.1 billion the administration planned to use for border construction.”
