First can Trump do this legally. I love it but is there a law that he can do this under? If so then the supremes can just overrule the 9th. Also the 9th should only cover the states in their area. Other courts could rule it’s ok. So no remittance from the South East or midwest.
Just declare the Mexican government terrorist s.
“Trump would invoke Section 326 of the US Patriot Act — the “know your customer” provision that requires financial institutions to know who they’re dealing with in transactions — to issue “detail regulations” under 31 CFR § 130.120-121 that would block remittance payments to Mexico from unauthorized immigrants.
The administration would then issue a rule that would include within the definition of financial institutions money transfer companies such as Western Union, include wire transfers in the statute’s scope, and require immigrants prove their lawful presence in the US before sending money.”

yes, vox
Probably. The laws governing the banking industry are voluminous. I don't know if, for example, Western Union or other vendors transfers are done through the Fed system, or other international systems, which are regulated, but rest assured the wire originators use banks. If they don't own banks. I'm confident this is an area where regulation could tighten requirements for transfers. Or if there are identification requirements already exist, enforce them.
