According to reports, the Trump administration won a big court case Thursday involving the construction of a wall meant to secure the U.S.-Mexico border.
In Sep. 2018, the Trump administration diverted construction funds from the Department of Defense to help fund nearly a dozen wall construction projects on the southern border.
A lower court blocked the funds three months later — but the administration appealed the ruling to a higher court.
In a 2-1 ruling, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the lower court’s ruling and freed the funds.
Trump took to social media to share the good news —
