The DOJ is pressing a federal appeals court for an emergency stay that would allow construction to move forward on two key stretches of border wall in Arizona and Texas
The Justice Department is pressing a federal appeals court for an emergency stay that would allow President Donald Trump to move forward with construction of two key stretches of border wall in Arizona and Texas.late Monday night California time, Justice Department attorneys said the preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge in Oakland last month threatens to derail the construction by delaying the projects past the end of the fiscal year in September.
Trump declared a national emergency to unlock some of that funding, but the emergency was not invoked over the money at stake in the phases of the border wall blocked by the judge last month. The Justice Department stay motion appears to mock the concerns raised by the plaintiffs who obtained the court order, the Sierra Club and the Southern Border Communities Coalition, that wall construction could interfere with other uses they make of lands along the border.
The new motion appears to urge the appeals court to rule by June 17, saying that a ruling by that date “would allow the parties time to seek emergency relief, if necessary, from the Supreme Court.”
