In plain English:

BREAKING: We just won our lawsuit blocking Trump from abusing emergency powers to begin construction on a border wall Congress denied him.
— ACLU (@ACLU) June 29, 2019

This ruling, which permanently blocks the administration from using nearly $3 billion in illegally diverted funds for wall construction, is a win for the Constitution and our border communities.

While declaring the national emergency, Trump stated he “didn’t need to do this” but he’d prefer to build the wall “much faster.” He added that he declared a national emergency because he was “not happy” that Congress “skimped” on the wall by denying him the billions he demanded.

(I first notieced the announcement because former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal retweeted it.)

Trump's only option now is withdraw from the Treaty of Guadalupe, redraw the line, and build a DMZ secured by the military. We'll see what happens.

Why are you disrespecting Trump? He's the greatest negotiator the world has ever seen. He's simply having a bit of trouble finding negotiation partners. If he could dig up a few of the original participants I'm sure he could renegotiate a great deal, the greatest deal ever.

Good points. Only a great negotiator, the greatest ever, fantastic, Trump could meet with a murderous despot saying he made "great progress" then have North Korea come out 2 days later saying:

"North Korea’s mission to the United Nations accused the United States on Wednesday of being “more and more hell-bent on hostile acts” against Pyongyang,...."the Americans are like a pack of rabid dogs slinking in nauseous alleyways and should be boiled alive and fed to goats"
