Trump subsequently took to Twitter in order to express his elation over the ruling.
See for yourself:
Wow! Big VICTORY on the Wall. The United States Supreme Court overturns lower court injunction, allows Southern Border Wall to proceed. Big WIN for Border Security and the Rule of Law!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 26, 2019
A statement from the Justice Department on this matter reads as follows:
“We are pleased that the Supreme Court recognized that the lower courts should not have halted construction of walls on the southern border. We will continue to vigorously defend the administration’s efforts to protect our nation.”
Left-wing activist groups, such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), have already stated that they will proceed to legally fight the president on funding for his wall.
The Border Wall and More
News about this ruling from the Supreme Court comes at an interesting time. Last month, the president announced the inception of his re-election campaign; the green light to build the border wall is certainly something which will go over well with Trump’s supporter base.
