A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction partially blocking President Trump's plan to fund a border wall with Mexico with money from the Defense Department.

According to Politico, which first reported the ruling, California U.S. District Court Judge Haywood Gilliam issued the order Friday, limiting construction to specific border areas and blocking the administration's plan to use Pentagon funds from various areas to pay for the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump made an emergency declaration earlier this year to circumvent Congress and reallocate funding from the Defense Department to begin work on the wall. A border wall was one of Trump's campaign promises and has been at the center of policy debates during his presidency.

Rats, I was hoping a future Democratic president would use Trump's precedent to bypass congressional authorization and just take money from the Pentagon to pay for a single payer healthcare system.
 
"On Christmas! What an incredible Christmas gift for the village. The elders fairly ran across the hill to Gish to spread the news. At long last they would all be going home. The Christmas Eve vigil became a celebration of thanksgiving and joyful praise. On Christmas morning...bundled in sweaters and old coats supplied by the Bishop's relief workers, the villagers gathered in the first light of day...Mother, Father, Wardi, and my brothers all joined in singing a jubilant Christmas hymn as they mounted the hill...At the top of the hill their hymn trailed into silence...Why were the soldiers still there? In the distance, a soldier shouted, and they realized they had been seen. A cannon blast sheared the silence. Then another—a third...Tank shells shrieked into the village, exploding in fiery destruction. Houses blew apart like paper. Stones and dust flew amid the red flames and billowing black smoke. One shell slammed into the side of the church, caving in a thick stone wall and blowing off half the roof. The bell tower teetered, the bronze bell knelling, and somehow held amid the dust clouds and cannon fire... Then all was silent—except for the weeping of women and the terrified screams of babies and children.

"Mother and Father stood shaking, huddled together with Wardi and my brothers. In a numbness of horror, they watched as bulldozers plowed through the ruins, knocking down much of what had not already blown apart or tumbled. At last, Father said—to my brothers or to God, they were never sure—'Forgive them.' Then he led them back to Gish."

On September 16, 1953, while an appeal for the residents to return was pending for Bir Am, the Israeli air force bombed and completely destroyed the empty village—just as Israeli tanks had destroyed Iqrit on Christmas Day, 1951.

You left out it was a left wing, Obama-appointed, affirmative action black. Those things are important if you want to present an accurate context.

What else would you expect one of his kind to do?
