The decision of Texas federal judge David Brions cast doubt on the legality of using funds to build a wall on the southern border.

El Paso County and Border Network for Human Rights sued Trump and the administration earlier this year. The lawsuit alleged that the president violated the law when he declared a state of emergency in the country in order to extract funds from the Department of Defense to finance the project.

On Friday, the judge wrote that the law “expressly prohibits” the use of funds allocated by Congress for purposes outside the scope of the appointment.

Judge Brions instructed the plaintiffs to specify specific requirements for financing the construction of the border wall within 10 days.

Trump's lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
