(Washington, DC) — President Trump is officially declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexican border with an executive order. Under the declaration signed today, Trump plans to divert Defense Department funds to build a massive border wall. Democratic leaders are calling it a gross abuse of power and the state of California has already filed a lawsuit against the administration. Trump says he expected court challenges, but is optimistic about winning.
