Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Border Wall Case
----------------------------------------------



The Supreme Court has also refused to accept a case seeking to stop
construction of a wall along the the US-Mexico border. Several Texas
border communities had sued the federal government after former Homeland
Security secretary Michael Chertoff waived thirty-six federal laws
protecting water, air quality, endangered animals and Native American
sites in order to build the border wall.
