Two-and-a-half years into his presidency, it's looking increasingly likely that the morass of lawsuits and investigations intended to stymie President Trump and his administration's agenda will be remembered as one of the president's defining legacies.
This, despite the fact that even Trump's fiercest opponents in Congress have acknowledged that the crisis at the border is very, very real.
Gilliam's ruling doesn't prevent the Trump administration from using other sources to fund the wall.
Since the earliest days of Trump's presidency, judges from the District Court for the Northern District of California or the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals have blocked immigration-related policies including Trump's travel ban and the 'Remain in Mexico' policy of releasing asylum seekers to Mexico to await their court hearings, instead of allowing them to roam free inside the US. The Ninth Circuit also mostly rejected the DoJ's lawsuit challenging California's 'Sanctuary State' policies.
Congress also tried to terminate the order before Trump could start appropriating money for the wall, prompting Trump's first presidential veto.
In his declaration, Trump tried to appropriate roughly $8 billion in DoD and Treasury Department money.
Though the fate of Trump's border wall remains uncertain, one thing is for sure: As the administration continues its fight to move ahead with other border wall related projects, more unfavorable rulings are likely.
