<p>On Monday, the Supreme Court dealt a blow to President Biden, who has been attempting to block funding for construction of the border wall between the United States and Mexico.</p>
<p>The Court ruled that a district court in California, where a federal judge in California had ruled against former President Trump’s use of Pentagon funds for the wall, should “consider what further proceedings are necessary and appropriate in light of the changed circumstances in this case.”</p>
<p>“The Supreme Court returned the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ‘with instructions to direct the District Court to vacate its judgments,’ the Supreme Court wrote in its Monday order,” <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/supreme-court-rules-favor-donald-trumps-plan-use-36-billion-border-wall-1635337">Newsweek</a> reported.</p>
<p>A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had let the ruling of the district court stand, stating, “The panel affirmed the district court’s judgment holding that budgetary transfers of funds for the construction of a wall on the southern border of the United States in California and New Mexico were not authorized under the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2019.”</p>
<p>The Ninth Circuit used the environmental claims of the states of California and New Mexico in its <a href="https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2020/06/26/19-16299.pdf">June 2020 affirmation</a> of the lower court’s ruling:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Concerning the injury in fact element of standing, the panel held that California and New Mexico alleged that the actions of the federal defendants will cause particularized and concrete injuries in fact to the environment and wildlife of their respective states as well as to their sovereign interests in enforcing their environmental laws. First, the panel held that California and New Mexico each provided sufficient evidence, if taken as true, that would allow a reasonable fact- finder to conclude that both states would suffer injuries in fact to their environmental interests, and in particular, to protect endangered species within their borders. Second, the panel also held that California and New Mexico demonstrated that border wall construction injured their quasi-sovereign interests by preventing them from enforcing their environmental laws.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>“The Biden administration had argued that the Supreme Court did not need to weigh in on the border wall funding case because the project was closed down by the new administration,” Newsweek noted.</p>
<p>Biden had issued an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/01/20/proclamation-termination-of-emergency-with-respect-to-southern-border-of-united-states-and-redirection-of-funds-diverted-to-border-wall-construction/">executive proclamation</a> on the day he was inaugurated that stated:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>… building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution.  It is a waste of money that diverts attention from genuine threats to our homeland security. … I have determined that the declaration of a national emergency at our southern border in Proclamation 9844 of February 15, 2019 (Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States), was unwarranted.  It shall be the policy of my Administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall. I am also directing a careful review of all resources appropriated or redirected to construct a southern border wall.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Biden added, “The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, shall direct the appropriate officials within their respective departments to: (i) pause work on each construction project on the southern border wall, to the extent permitted by law, as soon as possible … pause immediately the obligation of funds related to construction of the southern border wall, to the extent permitted by law.”</p>
<p>“In April, the U.S. Department of Defense said it was canceling border wall construction projects that were intended to proceed with funds ‘originally intended for military missions and projects,’” Newsweek reported.</p>
