The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a key win on its emergency docket on Monday by lifting a lower court’s block on border wall construction in the Big Bend region of Texas.
U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, had blocked three waivers issued by the Department of Homeland Security last month that allowed for border wall construction, siding with environmental activists who sued to halt construction in the region. That led the Trump administration to ask the high court to block the ruling.
