An appeals court has rejected the Trump administration's emergency request to block a federal judge's ruling that prevents it from using military funds to pay for its southern border wall.

Details: In a 2-1 ruling Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit said that "a stay of the district court’s order granting Plaintiffs an injunction is not warranted." The administration's expected to appeal the decision, per the Wall Street Journal. But it's another setback for Trump and his 2016 campaign promise ahead of the 2020 election.
