On February 15, 2019, President Donald Trump invoked his authority under the 3 National Emergencies Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1601–1651, to declare a national emergency and divert 4 billions of dollars appropriated for other purposes to carry out his campaign promise to build a wall 5 along the U.S.-Mexico border. 6 2. The President’s declaration was made solely out of disagreement with Congress’s 7 decision about the proper funding level, location, and timetable for constructing a border wall. On 8 the same day that President Trump signed his declaration, he also signed an act of Congress 9 appropriating only $1.375 billion for the border wall. The law Congress passed not only denied the 10 President the additional billions he had demanded, but also imposed substantial restrictions on the 11 location and timing of border wall construction. 12 3. In announcing his declaration of a national emergency, the President stated, “I don’t 13 need to do this,” but explained that he preferred to build the border wall faster than Congress’s 14 appropriation would allow. 15 4. The President’s declaration plainly states that the invocation of an emergency is to 16 address a “long-standing” problem of “large-scale unlawful migration through the southern border” 17 and the President’s opinion that the number of families seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border 18 presents an “emergency.” In fact, there was and is no national emergency to justify the President’s 19 action, only his disagreement with Congress’s duly enacted decisions on the extent and pace of 20 spending on the border wall. 21 5. On its face, the declaration does not meet the requirements of the statutory 22 authorization that the President invokes, 10 U.S.C. § 2808. That law, duly enacted by Congress, 23 provides that the President may declare an emergency to deploy military construction funds “that are 24 necessary to support such [emergency] use of the armed forces.” The declaration does not set forth 25 any actual emergency, any use of the armed forces required to address such an emergency, or how a 26 diversion of military construction funds is necessary to support the use of the armed forces of the 27 United States. The President has also instructed his subordinates to divert additional sources of 28 1 FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINTER229 FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF CASE NO: 4:19-cv-00892-HSG Case:Case 19-17501,4:19-cv-00892-HSG 01/24/2020, Document ID: 11573656, 26 FiledDktEntry: 03/18/19 31-3, Page 84 of 21040 1 Departments of Defense and Treasury funds that Congress restricted for other purposes, in an effort 2 to secure the appropriations that Congress denied him for the border wall. 3 6. Neither a declaration of emergency nor the Defense and Treasury funding statutes the 4 administration has invoked permit the President to disregard Congress’s enacted appropriations 5 legislation. The President’s actions violate both those statutes and the Constitution. 6 7. Plaintiffs Sierra Club and Southern Border Communities Coalition are harmed by the 7 President’s unlawful declaration of a national emergency and bring this action seeking declaratory 8 and injunctive relief and other remedies as set forth below. 9 JURISDICTION AND VENUE 10 8.

Mitch McConnell Minority Leader, United States Senate 361-A Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Majority Leader Reid and Minority Leader McConnell: We are writing on behalf of Constitutional Accountability Center, a public interest law firm, think tank and action center dedicated to fulfilling the progressive promise of the Constitution's text and history, to urge that Caitlin Halligan be confirmed promptly to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. As discussed below, Ms. Halligan is exceptionally well-qualified to serve as a federal appellate court judge. Ms. Halligan’s nomination should have received, but did not receive, a yes-or-no vote on the Senate floor during the last Congress, but it must receive such a vote in 2013. When Ms. Halligan was first nominated in 2010, there were two vacancies on the D.C. Circuit; since then, two additional vacancies have opened up, including one just last month. This means that more than a third of the court’s seats -- four of eleven -- are now vacant. It would be contrary to the interests of justice for the Senate to continue to force this important court to do the nation’s business as understaffed as it is. There can be no genuine dispute that Ms. Halligan is overwhelmingly qualified to serve on the D.C.

    1920 L Street, N.W. | Suite 200 | Washington, DC 20036 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 13, 2008 CONTACT: Curt Levey, (202) 270-7748, [email protected] 60 Groups Demand GOP & Dems Move Judicial Nominees 15 Appeals Court Nominees Must Reach Senate Floor DC Cir. Nominee Keisler is “Highest Priority” WASHINGTON, DC - Today, a coalition of about 60 organizations – led by the Committee for Justice (CFJ) – delivered a letter to each of the 19 members of the Senate Judiciary Committee “to express our deep concern about the lack of progress in 2007 in reporting judicial nominees . out of the Judiciary Committee, and to discuss reasonable expectations for progress on this issue in 2008.” The coalition cites “the remarkably low approval ratings for the 110th Congress” and decries the fact that “a year into the 110th Congress, the Judiciary Committee has held hearings for only four appeals court nominees and has voted on only six. As a result, the full Senate has fallen far short of the confirmation pace necessary to meet the historical average of 17 circuit court confirmations during a president’s final two years in office [with] opposition control of the Senate.” “This letter is aimed at both Republican and Democratic senators,” explained CFJ executive director Curt Levey. “Both parties have good reason to make this a priority. Senate Democrats remember that in 2004, the last time judicial nominees were an election issue in Senate races, the issue cost them and their leader, Tom Daschle, dearly.
