A ‘national emergency’ declared by the White House will see court challenges from New York and California, the two most populated US states, according to reports.
In the wake of US President Donald Trump’s move to declare a so-called national emergency as a means of moving cash from various government agencies so that a campaign promise of a physical wall built on the Mexico-US border can be realized, the states of California and New York will go to court to stop him.
“We will not stand for this abuse of power,” James declared, adding that New York would “fight back with every legal tool at our disposal,” cited by Nytimes.com.
