U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday appealed a U.S. judge’s ruling that blocked his administration from using $2.5 billion in funds intended for anti-drug activities to construct a wall along the southern border with Mexico.
U.S. Department of Justice lawyers said in a court filing that they were formally appealing Friday’s ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
“[W]e’re immediately appealing it, and we think we’ll win the appeal,” Trump said during a press conference on Saturday at a summit of leaders of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies in Japan.
On Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Haywood Gilliam in Oakland, California said in a pair of court decisions that the Trump administration’s proposal to transfer Defense Department funds intended for anti-drug activities was unlawful.

On May 24, 2019, Gilliam granted a preliminary injunction preventing the Trump administration from redirecting funds under the national emergency declaration issued earlier in the year to fund a planned wall along the border with Mexico. The injunction applies specifically to some of the money the administration intended to allocate from other agencies, and limits wall construction projects in El Paso, Texas and Yuma, Arizona. Gilliam's ruling was reversed a little more than a week later by the DC Court of Appeals.
Maybe the higher courts will smack him down again.
I wonder who appointed this judge to the bench
Haywood? Haywood? Hey would you me.
Federal judicial service On September 8, 2014, President Obama nominated Gilliam to serve....
..... What ever happened to using the billions from Drug Lord El Chappo to build the wall?
Does the said judge ever visit the border? Does he have any sense what the reality is going on with our border?
Well half the post was on the right topic. LOL! Appeal? Do like the dems would and simply ignore and carry on.
Maybe he saw the pic of ‘aoc’ crying and made the decision on that.
Not to worry, just a speed bump.
“Other legal bids to stop reallocation of federal funds for the border have proven unsuccessful. A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled against House Democrats in a similar lawsuit on June 3.”

To hear the ACLU and California’s terrible Attorney General tell it, you’d think Trump just lost 9-0 at the Supreme Court with this ruling.
>Maybe the higher courts will smack him down again.
Perchance, Congress should do its f* J-O-B and impeach those over-stepping their defined Constitutional powers.
Or *maybe*, We the People should do our DUTY and remove ‘em ourselves.
Screw the Appeal, SHUT Down the Border and Immediately begin Rounding up and Deporting Illegal Aliens EVERYWHERE, start with California.
Da Judge has Spoken!
I’d be ok with the ruling if it only applied to the Northern District of California. These nationwide rulings are something the Supreme Court or Congress needs to fix.
Friggin’ liberal judges usurping the power of the Executive Branch of this country. They need to be knocked down a few pegs. I don’t even understand how suits like this are even heard, and not dismissed as frivolous.
Not sure how we make out appealing to the Ninth Circus Court. Although President. Trump has appointed a few new judges to it. Lefties probably still rule.
His name rings a bell. I think he might be a standard go-to guy for crazy rulings that hurt Trump’s agenda.
Did a little research...this panderer gave thousands of dollars to barry and got a federal appointment in return.
Shocking/s
These nationwide rulings are something the Supreme Court or Congress needs to fix
Amen, there needs to be something done to avoid these endless - oh no you don’t Obamaite judges
