The U.S. government had been suffering an unrecoverable loss of a half-million dollars a day until Monday, when the Supreme Court paused U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone’s order stopping construction of a border wall in the Big Bend region of southwest Texas.
The Supreme Court lifted a lower-court order that had temporarily blocked border wall and related construction in the Big Bend area of west Texas, CBS News reported. The ruling lets the Trump administration restart work while a lawsuit over the plan continues, according to WAER. KFOX reported that the vote was 8-1 and that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented; other reports did not give a vote count. KFOX also said environmental groups have warned the project could affect the desert ecosystem and wildlife.
