The Trump administration has asked a federal judge in El Paso to reject an injunction that could stop construction of hundreds of miles of border wall.

El Paso County and the nonprofit Border Network for Human Rights sued President Donald Trump and members of his administration over the use of military funds — appropriated by Congress for other purposes — to build a wall at the southern border.

U.S. District Judge David Briones decided in October that the administration’s plans to divert Department of Defense funding to pay for the wall violated federal law, as did the president’s January declaration of a national emergency at the border.
