Supreme Court allows Trump administration to resume border wall construction in Big Bend region
CBS ^ | 11/9/26

Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for the Trump administration to resume building a border wall and other infrastructure through a remote area of West Texas while litigation over the project moves forward.

In an unsigned decision, the high court agreed to lift a district court's injunction that temporarily stopped construction of the wall and related infrastructure in the Big Bend sector, which covers more than 500 miles of the southern border and includes Big Bend National Park.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said she would have denied the Justice Department's request for emergency relief.

In its five-page decision, the Supreme Court said in part that the lower court's order delays construction of the border barrier and roads in the Big Bend region and "impedes the Government from advancing its 'compelling interests' in border security and integrity."

Congress needs to pass a law criminalizing destruction or bypassing of the border wall. Also criminalizing sanctuary city policies or sheltering illegal immigrants.

James Madison’s Virginia Plan of Government, presented to the 1787 Federal Convention, provided for judicial pre-clearance of federal laws.

It was shot down as a violation of separation of powers.

Such a shame that it is back.

Once again I have to make clear my objection to the use of the word “allow” in such ledes. It makes it seems as if Trump is holding out his bowl and asking the court for “more please.” The Supreme Court does not “allow” anything. The law is what allows Trump to continue securing our border. The court simply offers an opinion on that law and issues its order in accordance to that opinion.

The present SCOTUS majority has been very deferential to executive authority in most cases decided. Trump should see how they rule on invoking the Insurrection Act to deal with the election fraud.

As soon as the DSA gets everything they need for their 5 year plan, they will build a northern border wall with Canada to keep us in.

Of course she would, because - Trump.

This woman has NO PLACE on the USSC.

That's DOA .

Donnie and Mullins will be greeting all our fresh
Invaders with Teddy bears and HUGS left over from the Biden Admin

Donny is desperate to sell out to the Dems
to avoid all of his Family's Crimes being exposed in Congress.

Anyone recall DACA Donnie who wanted to grant the Dacas amnesty but instead Donnie ignored the Judges order to Deport the Dacas.
Dacas never left because Donnie lost.

Get ready for NO WALL but maybe Ivanka and Donnie can set up a
clothing shop at the Border for new Invaders.
