Today, Rep. Kirkpatrickreleased the following statement after the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas issued a permanent injunction against the Trump Administration's wasteful border wall, ruling that the Administration does not have the authority to steal from money appropriated by Congress for a different purpose: The court's ruling proves the strength and power of our constitution. The President's attempts to move money around without approval defies the constitutional authority of Congress,said Rep. Kirkpatrick.I believe it is disrespectful to our Armed Forces and all American tax-payers. Thiswallis A vanity project for the President, it's a political chant for his baseit's not a safety measure for a national emergency. I represent the district that is home to Fort Huachuca, our backyard reachesborderlandsthe construction of this wall goes against approval processes and public sentiment. I will continue to fight in the House, and I believe the constitution is on our side in the courts. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
