Trump declaration faces uncertain fate in coming court fight 0 SHARES Share it! President Donald Trump declared a national emergency along the southern border Friday and predicted his administration would end up defending it all the way to the Supreme Court. The act requires a president to notify Congress publicly of the national emergency and to report every six months. Beyond that, though, the law doesn’t say what constitutes a national emergency or impose any other limits on the president. ACLU executive director Anthony Romero said Trump’s remarks are an admission that there is no national emergency.
