El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, criticó la denuncia que 16 estados hicieron en su contra por considerar ilegal la “emergencia nacional” declarada por su gobierno para obtener recursos para el financiamiento del muro fronterizo
As I predicted, 16 states, led mostly by Open Border Democrats and the Radical Left, have filed a lawsuit in, of course, the 9th Circuit! California, the state that has wasted billions of dollars on their out of control Fast Train, with no hope of completion, seems in charge!

El procurador general de California, Xavier Becerra, interpuso una demanda contra la declaración junto a los fiscales generales de Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawai, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Nueva Jersey, Nueva York, Nuevo México, Oregon y Virginia.
The failed Fast Train project in California, where the cost overruns are becoming world record setting, is hundreds of times more expensive than the desperately needed Wall!

No es la primera vez que la citada entidad impugna las políticas de Trump ante la Corte, pues existen al menos 45 demandas de California contra el republicano.
