This case challenged President Trump’s use of presidential emergency powers to allocate funds to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

On February 20, 2019, El Paso County, Texas, and the Border Network for Human Rights filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. The plaintiffs sued President Trump, along with the Secretaries of the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, the Interior, and the Treasury, in their official capacities, for allegedly funding the construction of barriers unlawfully at the U.S.-Mexico border. The plaintiffs, represented by The Protect Democracy Project, the Niskanen Center, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, and others, sought declaratory and injunctive relief to stop the defendants from taking any action pursuant to the President’s Proclamation of February 15, 2019 (“Proclamation”), which declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border. The case was assigned to Judge David Briones.

Specifically, the complaint alleged that President Trump exerted power beyond constitutional and statutory limits by seeking to allocate funds for a border wall that Congress did not appropriate. In February 2019, Congress passed the 2019 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which allocated $1.375 billion for border fencing in specific locations along the southern border. President Trump then issued the Proclamation to access additional funds for the construction of a border wall under the National Emergencies Act (“NEA”), 50 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq., citing 10 U.S.C. § 2808, the military construction statute, as a funding source. The complaint alleged that the defendants violated the Constitution by usurping Congress’s exclusive power to appropriate funds, violated the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), 5 U.S.C. § 551 et seq., by implementing the Proclamation in an arbitrary and capricious manner, and violated the NEA itself because no national emergency existed.

The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on April 25, 2019, which, among other things, (i) reorganized their broad ultra vires claim into separate challenges to the President’s NEA declaration, the use of funds under 10 U.S.C. §§ 2808 and 284, and related APA-governed agency actions; (ii) added a nondelegation claim; and (iii) named Todd T. Semonite, Commanding General of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as a defendant. On the same day, the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment or, in the alternative, for a preliminary injunction. On June 10, 2019, the defendants also filed a motion for summary judgment, claiming, among other things, that the plaintiffs lacked standing and had failed to satisfy the APA requirements for review of agency action.

The court granted the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment or, in the alternative, for a preliminary injunction, and denied the defendants’ motion for summary judgment on October 11, 2019. The court determined that the plaintiffs had standing and that the Proclamation was invalid as a matter of law; it also asked the plaintiffs to submit a proposal for injunctive relief. 408 F. Supp. 3d 840.

On December 10, 2019, Judge Briones granted a permanent injunction against the use of funds appropriated for “military construction” under 10 U.S.C. § 2808 for border wall construction. The court also declared the Proclamation unlawful. 407 F. Supp. 3d 655. On the same day, the defendants filed a notice of appeal. The defendants filed a motion to stay the permanent injunction pending appeal on December 16, 2019. Judge Briones denied the motion the next day.

On January 8, 2020, the Fifth Circuit stayed Judge Briones’s permanent injunction pending appeal, allowing the challenged use of § 2808 military-construction funds to continue while appellate review proceeded. While the appeal was pending, the plaintiffs also sought review by the U.S. Supreme Court by filing a petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment in September 2020.

On December 4, 2020, the Fifth Circuit held that neither El Paso County nor the Border Network for Human Rights had Article III standing to challenge the § 2808 or § 284 expenditures. The court reversed the district court’s summary-judgment ruling for the plaintiffs, vacated the injunction, and remanded the case for dismissal for lack of jurisdiction. 982 F.3d 332. On January 28, 2021, Judge Briones dismissed the case without prejudice.

The U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari before judgment on July 2, 2021, and denied rehearing on September 10, 2021. 141 S. Ct. 2885; 142 S. Ct. 51.

The case is now closed.
