Approximately $1 billion being allocated to Trump's border wall was blocked.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the Sierra Club and the Southern Border Communities Coalition . They are being represented by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Gilliam wrote in his ruling that he issued the preliminary injunction because the Sierra Club and SBCC"show that Defendants’ actions exceeded their statutory authority, and that irreparable harm will result from those actions."The ACLU in a statement praised the District Judge's preliminary ruling. “This order is a win for our system of checks and balances, the rule of law, and border communities," Dror Ladin, staff attorney with the ACLU who argued the case, said in a statement. "The court blocked all the wall projects currently slated for immediate construction. If the administration begins illegally diverting additional military funds, we'll be back in court to block that as well.
