The Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote has denied a request to halt construction of President Trump’s border wall over environmental concerns. “Every lower court to consider the question has ruled President Trump's border wall illegal, and the Supreme Court’s temporary order does not decide the case. We’ll be back before the Supreme Court soon to put a stop to Trump’s xenophobic border wall once and for all.”The four liberal justices dissented from Friday’s order. In June, the Supreme Court also declined to hear an appeal from a coalition of environmental groups that pushed back against the Trump administration's construction of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Circuit Court of Appeals had dismissed the case, citing a prior case from 2007 with "a nearly identical context."
