The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court decision & gave us the go ahead to build one of the largest sections of the desperately needed Southern Border Wall, Four Billion Dollars," the president tweeted Thursday. "Entire Wall is under construction or getting ready to start!"
"It's a great win." Judd said Saturday. "But, what's interesting is we knew this was going to happen. We know that the lower courts are full of judicial activism. We know that the lower courts are constantly trying to stymie President Trump and all of his directives."

"President Trump refuses to take 'no' for an answer," he said. "He continues to push forward with his agenda."
