Supreme Court Shoots Down Request to Halt Border-wall Construction
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled July 31 that construction of the wall along the southern border can continue, shooting down environmental concerns raised in a suit by various left-wing groups.
Organizations such as the ACLU and Sierra Club had again asked the high court to put a halt to the wall building after the justices last year allowed the White House to use military funds for construction while the case is still in court.
Though a federal appeals court had ruled against the administration in June, the Supreme Court has for now handed the Trump administration another victory for securing the American border.
