A federal appeals court won’t lift an order barring the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador under an 18th century wartime law.

The appeals panel cited the House's argument that it was cut out of its “constitutionally indispensable legislative role” when Trump unilaterally moved about $8 billion to border wall construction. House Democrats sued three months after the end of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, triggered by Trump's demand for border wall funding. Another appeals court ruled in June against the transfer of money from military construction projects. Building a border wall was one of Trump's signature campaign pledges four years ago, though he promised then that Mexico would pay for the wall.
