Another federal judge ruled against President Trump's use of a "national emergency" declaration to divert funds to build a border wall on Friday, finding the use of an emergency proclamation "unlawful" because it violated a Congressional budgeting measure from January.
"The Congressional language in the [bill] reveals Congress's intent to limit the border barrier funding," wrote Judge David Briones, who was appointed to the federal District Court for the Western District of Texas by former President Bill Clinton.
In July, the Supreme Court stayed a ruling by a lower California court that temporarily prevented Trump from unilaterally appropriating the funds.
