February 2019
President Trump on Thursday renewed a state of emergency he declared on the Southern border, which he has used to reprogram billions of dollars to building his border wall... Trump officially declared the emergency on Feb. 15 last year after a five-week government shutdown — the longest in the nation's history — failed to convince Congress to fund the wall to his satisfaction.
