Border wall, bullet train: California vs. Trump escalates 0 SHARES Share it! California led a 16-state coalition in filing the suit Monday, challenging Trump’s power to declare an emergency to earn more money to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Newsom, less than two months into his tenure, has appeared more eager to hit back at Trump than former California Gov. That’s about 13 times the $5.7 billion Trump sought unsuccessfully from Congress to build the wall. That work is a requirement for keeping the federal money.
