Sierra Club v. Trump Challenge to Trumps National Emergency Declaration to Construct a Border Wall

On January 20, 2021, President Biden halted further border wall construction. Litigation in this and subsequent related challenges has been paused or deadlines extended while the 勛圖眻畦s clients and the Biden administration determine next steps.
