The Supreme Court on Nov. 9 paused a preliminary injunction that had blocked the Trump administration’s border barrier construction in an area including Big Bend National Park in Texas, allowing work to resume while the litigation plays out.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented from the court’s order.
In an emergency application filed with the high court on Oct. 21, lawyers for the federal government asked the justices to lift a lower court order halting construction of President Donald Trump’s key project that began during his first term in office.
In an Oct. 2 order, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone sided with an environmental group and others who claimed that the project was unconstitutional, breached the separation of powers, and took land from residents.
The Trump administration argued that continuing construction was crucial because the Big Bend region encompasses nearly one-quarter of the U.S.–Mexico border.
