Judge Halts Biden from Diverting $1.4B in Border Barrier Funds

President Biden suffered a setback last week when a district judge issued a temporary injunction to stop him from redirecting $1.4B that Congress allocated for a barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border.

U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, a Trump appointee, temporarily halted the funds in question – money Congress allocated in 2020 and 2021 – to help stop the flow of people illegally crossing the southern border. Judge Tipton wrote that the Biden administration’s “spending decisions run afoul” of administrative law. He ruled against the Biden administration’s argument that it can decide how to spend that money.
