The White House plans to use $8 billion in previously-appropriated funding to build 234 more miles of barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border as part of the national emergency order President Trump issued Friday, according to senior administration officials.
President Trump announced the plan Friday in the White House Rose Garden. Trump issued it alongside with signing a congressionally approved spending bill to keep open a slew of federal agencies, including $1.375 billion to go toward additional wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
Trump's move faces near-certain legal action, including from immigrant groups and land conservation organizations. House Democrats say they'll try to block the move in Congress and will sue if that doesn't work.
