Supreme Court stands with President Trump in his fight to control the border.

The Supreme Court declined to take up a challenge to President Donald Trump’s border wall Monday, which asserted that the administration violated the Constitution when it exempted border barrier projects from environmental regulations.

A 1996 law Trump is using to defend the border,   authorizes the attorney general (and later the Homeland Security secretary) to build border barriers to deter illegal immigration. In that connection, the law gives the Department of Homeland Security secretary power to exempt certain border projects from environmental laws like the Endangered Species Act, as well as other legal rules, to ensure quick construction.
