Isn’t this a moot point? I thought Congress long ago passed legislation that exempted border construction from any environmental laws. If this is somehow not applicable or true, then Congress should fix as part of any border legislation.

The REAL ID Act actually allows the secretary of the DHS to exempt any border wall from environmental assessments or legal challenges because of national security.
