Trump attacks federal judge who blocked south border wall construction

Washington, :  President Donald Trump has criticised the federal judge’s decision which temporarily blocked construction of the southern border wall and called him “another activist Obama appointed judge.”
“Another activist Obama appointed judge has just ruled against us on a section of the Southern Wall that is already under construction. This is a ruling against Border Security and in favor of crime, drugs and human trafficking. We are asking for an expedited appeal!” Trump tweeted on Saturday.
Trump tweeted his response from Japan, where he is currently on a state visit.
According to The Washington Post, District Judge Haywood S Gilliam Jr. of the Northern District of California on Friday ruled that some construction of the wall using money not appropriated by Congress be put on hold as the court considers a legal challenge to Trump’s decision to circumvent Congress to pay for his wall.
While the order applied only to two projects, the judge made clear that he felt the challengers were likely to prevail at trial on their argument that the president was wrongly ignoring Congress’s wishes by diverting defence department money.
The construction of the wall on the US-Mexican border to prevent the influx of undocumented migrants and drug trafficking has been one of Trump’s main campaign pledges.
The president, however, has been struggling to find financing for the wall since Congress has refused to allocate billions of dollars from the budget at Trump’s request. In order to bypass Congress and secure the necessary funding, in February, Trump declared a state of national emergency on the US southern border.
