Court allows Trump to redirect military funds to build wall along Mexican border

In a major victory, an appeals court in New Orleans has allowed outgoing President Donald Trump to redirect $3.6 billion in US military funds to build a wall along the Mexican border. The ruling by the appeals court overturned a decision by a judge in El Paso, Texas, who called the declaration of national emergency by President Trump to redirect military money to the wall project, a violation of the law.
