Missouri AG wins case forcing Biden-Harris admin to finish building Trump’s border wall

“I obtained a court order forcing border czar Kamala Harris and Joe Biden to finish President Trump’s border wall. They decided NOT to appeal, making our win FINAL,” Bailey wrote in a post on X. “The rest of President Trump’s border wall is going up because of this lawsuit.”

The legal battle dates back to fiscal year 2020 when Congress allocated $1.4 billion specifically for the construction of barriers along the southern border. The legislation stipulated that the funds “shall only be available for construction of barrier systems along the southwest border.” Despite this, the Biden administration opted not to use the funds, citing policy differences between their administration and the previous one.

In response, Missouri, along with Texas, filed a lawsuit challenging the administration's refusal to use the allocated funds. The Biden administration argued that Bailey lacked standing to bring the case, but the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of allowing the lawsuit to proceed.

With the Biden administration’s decision not to appeal, the court order stands, ensuring the continuation of the border wall construction.

In addition to this victory, Attorney General Bailey has filed another lawsuit against the Biden administration. This latest legal action seeks documents related to allegations that the administration has been transporting illegal immigrants into Missouri. Bailey criticized the administration for these allegations, writing, "I am filing suit against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for REFUSING to turn over documents about the flying of illegal immigrants into Missouri. We have reason to believe they are deliberately flying illegal aliens from the border into our cities. Not on my watch."
