Associated Press/Evan Vucci
- President Donald Trump is vowing to appeal a judge's ruling that says his administration cannot take $2.5 billion in funds intended for anti-drug activities and use it to build a wall along the Mexican border.
- A U.S. District Court judge ruled that the transfer of the money was unlawful.
- Trump declared a national emergency in February and moved to divert $6.7 billion in funds approved for other purposes so the money could be used for the wall. Twenty states and several advocacy groups sued to stop the move.
