Second Judge Blocks Trump From Using Pentagon Funds For Border Wall

The transcript discusses the reallocation of $3.6 billion in Pentagon funds to build barriers along the US-Mexico border, part of a National Emergency declaration by President Trump. The White House claimed legal grounds for this under a provision for national emergencies. However, a judge ruled against this, stating the barriers were for immigration control, not military support. This ruling followed lawsuits by California and the ACLU. A similar ruling was made in Texas, and the White House plans to appeal.
