The state of California sued the Trump administration Wednesday over its plan to begin construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall, intensifying its resistance against the administration’s stringent and often controversial immigration policies.
The lawsuit — filed in federal court in San Diego — is about following the rules, said state Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who contends construction of the wall would violate several state and federal laws and would harm sensitive coast land along the U.S.-Mexico border.

And what would be the environmental affect caused by millions of illegal aliens pouring into our country?
How can a state declare that the Fed Gov can NOT enforce its own border???
Obama spied on his political opponents under the guise of national security...Trump should fast track construction of the border wall as a national security necessity...roll right over the enviros and the open borders crowd.
California citizens should tremble at the thought that the application of law is in the hands of officials who see it’s use as a political weapon, for one day it will come for them should they say or do something deemed offensive.
By forum shopping and using the out of control ninth circuit, that’s how.
Hell i’m convinced that MOST of the people that live there WANT that, thats what they vote for time and time and time again...
It’s a Federal Border. Ca would have to prove some kind of loss....which just won’t happen.
would harm sensitive coast land along the U.S.-Mexico border.

I wonder how far inland in CA and TX would this harm to sensitive land be?
It’s “controversial” to enforce our laws now?
So according to this idiot Becerra enforcing and protecting the country’s borders is considered terrorism now. It looks like the fools in Sacramento are going to defy the wall and all federal government attempts to enforce immigration laws at all costs.
Fast-tracking this to the Supremes would be in the best interest of America. The sooner this is resolved the better.
Exactly!
So now enforcing the law is wrong if Trump does it. Insanity.
Totally ignore the lawsuit and rock on.....it has no merit to begin with.
What are they gonna do? Bring out the CHP against the Marines?
You know, the good I see in all of this is that wacko Kommifornia should be able to let in as many as they wish and have no wall. The rest of the border states like Texas and Arizona can have the wall and other increased security measures. Seems like a fair trade until a federal judge decides to spoil the fun, eh?
Dammit, Man! How can we replenish our ranks of democrat voters if we can’t get a steady influx of government-dependent bodies from socialist countries! The public education system just isn’t doing the job fast enough.
Xavier... isn’t he the guy who tried to pass off a fake duplicate server on the Capitol Police? Why? Part of the Awan cover up?
There is an acronym for that: CLM (Career Limiting Move)
And how can this be squared with the recent judicial precedent that Arizona couldn't enforce Federal immigration laws on its own border, but instead, had to do it the way the Feds wanted it done, by letting the Feds control all aspects (which, under Obama, was no enforcement at all)?
I heard the CA AG say this AM that “Trump cannot ignore the law”. Well, CA is ignoring Federal law with its “Sanctuary State” policy. Xavier Becerra is a hypocrite.
