A federal judge in Tucson, Arizona has ruled that the Department of Homeland Security arbitrarily failed to take a "hard look" at the environmental impacts involved in the construction of former President Donald Trump's signature wall on a 50-mile wide corridor at the border with Mexico.
Senior U.S. District Judge Cindy Jorgenson ruled on Monday that DHS and its agency Customs and Border Protection violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in a partial victory for the Center for Biological Diversity and U.S. Representative Raul Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat, who had sued. The judge, however, declined the plaintiffs' request for an order to produce a more comprehensive environmental analysis now, reasoning that the activities had not produced "demonstrated adverse environmental impacts."
The ruling of the lawsuit that was filed under President Donald Trump comes after his successor put an end to his signature border wall project.

Humans are not the only creatures who migrate along the border. Trumps spite fence is nothing short of criminal.
