in october 2019, in a separate case, a u.s. district court in texas found that the el paso county, texas and the border network for human rights had legal standing to challenge trump's attempt to divert $3.6 billion in military construction for wall construction along the mexico border, and in december 2019, the court issued a permanent injunction blocking the attempted diversion of funds. the ruling did not affect the use of other funds that the trump administration designed for wall construction, such as counter-drug and treasury forfeiture funds.
