Dems introduce resolution to overturn Trump’s emergency to build wall

Democrats in the House introduced a resolution on Friday that would block President Trump‘s emergency declaration on the southern border, a step he took to free up as much as $8 billion in funding to build his proposed border wall.

The resolution sponsored by Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) had 222 co-sponsors.

The measure is expected to pass the Democratic-held House but will need to win GOP support to get through the Senate.
