Liberal advocacy group Public Citizen filled a lawsuit on Friday challenging President Donald Trump’s declaration of national emergency, the Hill reports.
Public citizen filled the lawsuit on behalf of three Texas landowners, and the Frontera Audubon Society. In a press release, the organization accused Trump of violating the Constitution.
“The complaint urges the court to find that Trump exceeded his constitutional authority and authority under the National Emergencies Act, and to hold that the declaration violates the doctrine of separation of powers that is so central to our Constitution.”
The advocacy group added that the court should bar the president and the Department of Defense from declaring national emergency and allocating funds for a wall on the U.
