POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — A federal judge has declined to issue an injunction against the Trump administration’s plan to construct 62 miles of border wall along a section of a Native American tribe’s reservation, despite the tribe’s objections.

The decision allows the administration to proceed with the construction without obtaining the tribe’s consent. The tribe had sought legal action to prevent the wall from being built on their ancestral lands.

The judge’s ruling is expected to have significant implications for both the ongoing border wall project and the rights of Native American tribes to control their land.
