Supreme Court says border wall construction can continue

The Supreme Court said Friday that President Trump can continue to build the border wall even as legal challenges work their way through lower courts, rejecting a demand by the ACLU and environmental groups for an immediate halt.

Those challengers say Mr. Trump is speeding construction and without a halt, he’ll have built hundreds of miles, even though the legality of his funding decisions is still very much in question.

But the justices, in a 5-4 decision, rejected that request. The four Democrat-appointed justices dissented.
