A federal judge has partially blocked Trump's plan to fund construction of his border wall.

A federal judge has partially blocked President Donald Trump’s plan to fund construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The preliminary injunction issued Friday blocks the administration’s plan to transfer about $1 billion from other Defense Department accounts to cover expansions and enhancement of border barriers.


Oakland, Calif.-based U.S. District Court Judge Haywood Gilliam’s order only limits construction in specific border areas in Texas and Arizona and does not prevent the administration from tapping other funding sources to advance those projects.
