On April 5, 2019, the United States House of Representatives, represented by their general counsel, filed this lawsuit against the Secretary of the Treasury, the Department of the Treasury, the Acting Secretary of the Department of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Department of Homeland Security, the Secretary of the Department of the Interior, and the Department of the Interior. The House claimed that the defendants violated the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, Article 1, § 9, clause 7 of the Constitution, and the Administrative Procedure Act, for allocating $8.1 billion to build the border wall dividing the United States and Mexico when Congress had only approved $1.375 billion for barrier construction. The plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief to stop the Trump Administration from transferring non-Congressionally approved funds to fund the border wall. The suit was filed in the District Court for the District of Columbia and was presided over by Judge Trevor McFadden.

On April 23, 2019, the plaintiffs moved for a preliminary injunction, but the court denied their motion on June 3, 2019, for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. 379 F.Supp.3d 8. The plaintiffs appealed to the District of Columbia Circuit Court on June 10, 2019. Subsequently, the defendants provided notice to the plaintiffs and the court that they would be authorizing the funds necessary to continue the construction of the border wall.

The case remains active in the D.C. Circuit Court under docket number 19-5176. The docket was last updated on November 8, 2019.

MINUTE ORDER striking the 39 Motion to Intervene for failure to comply with Local Civil Rule 7(m), which requires the movant to certify, "[b]efore filing any nondispositive motion in a civil action," that he discussed the anticipated motion with opposing counsel "in a good-faith effort to determine whether there is any opposition to the relief sought and, if there is, to narrow the areas of disagreement." Because of this failure to comply, the Court need not address the substantive arguments raised in the Defendants' 50 Memorandum in Opposition. Signed by Judge Trevor N. McFadden on 5/22/2019.
