The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday advised a lower court to reconsider earlier decisions that blocked an estimated $3.6 billion from being used for construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall championed by former President Donald Trump.
After taking office in January, President Joe Biden has sought to halt funding for the border wall construction that was pushed by his predecessor. The Biden administration had argued that the Supreme Court did not need to weigh in on the border wall funding case because the project was closed down by the new administration.
But the Court's Monday ruling called for a reassessment of the case, given the new circumstances under which the project is being considered and with a different administration in the White House.
The Supreme Court returned the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit "with instructions to direct the District Court to vacate its judgments," the Supreme Court wrote in its Monday order.
"The District Court should consider what further proceedings are necessary and appropriate in light of the changed circumstances in this case," the Supreme Court added. The Court did not provide an explanation for its decision beyond mentioning the change in circumstances under which the case has been considered.
Key to the arguments surrounding the future of the border wall's construction is the funding sources Trump's administration directed to support it. Billions in military funding were allocated to the project during Trump's time in office, with the wall's 400th mile celebrated by the former president just days before he left the White House.
In his order pausing wall construction, which he issued the day of his inauguration, Biden mentioned questions that have been raised about the legality of the wall's funding.

Your move plugs.
Wall still won’t get built or the border controlled.
If only it could be considered infrastructure.
Justice delayed?
Good timimg.. thousands pouring in from all over the world ... but ‘duh!’ To the SC.. you might not have decided correct... if the border was not so obvious
This should have never even gone to the Supreme Court.....common sense says any nation needs to control their borders at the very least. Especially when it’s being “invaded”.
Somehow I doubt they will restart construction.
I wanted to add..did you see Goetz on Am Voice tonight?
He was talking about Trump being Speaker just long enough to impeach biden and cruella
. And get rid of Pelosi and control what happens daily.
And be President again in 24.
Talk.. not news
Broken the Legal System is.
Trump will never be Speaker, unless there are a bunch of pro-Trump Congresscritters elected also.
There is nobody in Washington who is there to serve the will of the people.
SCOTUS, always a day late and a dollar short.
The ruling is laughable at this point. The Communists got
what they wanted. Now the justices think it’s time to
release this “really big” (/s) decision.
The actions we so desperately need, will never happen now.
Thanks SCOTUS. The gift that keeps on... well, just keeps
on.
There ain’t no more ‘common sense.’
no mention of the case name or a link to the order itself, which I have been unable to find on the court’s site due to the paucity of information provided.
This is standard DemonicRat tactics. They put political hacks on the judicial bench to rule against sound legislation. This tactic is used to delay implementation of the sound legislation until the DemonicRats are back and power and can kill it outright.
This will eventually destroy the USA.
The people in our government are plain bad people.
