California Sues Trump over Border Wall

HeadlineSep 21, 2017

California has sued President Trump over the construction of his proposed border wall, saying the administration is not complying with state and federal environmental laws. This is California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

Xavier Becerra: “The border between the U.S. and Mexico spans some 2,000 miles. The list of laws violated by the president’s administration in order to build his campaign wall is almost as long. The Department of Homeland Security would waive 37 federal statutes, as well as regulations that are related to those statutes, and he would also violate numerous state and local laws here in our great state of California.”
