SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California’s attorney general filed a lawsuit Monday against President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration to fund a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Xavier Becerra released a statement Monday saying 16 states — including California — allege the Trump administration’s action violates the Constitution. Trump declared a national emergency to fulfill his promise of completing the wall. “President Trump is manufacturing a crisis and declaring a made-up ‘national emergency’ in order to seize power and undermine the Constitution,” said California Gov. “This ’emergency’ is a national disgrace.” / gsgRead NextLATEST STORIESMOST READ
