The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said it was filing a lawsuit against President Donald Trump following his declaration of a national emergency on Feb. 15.

Trump said that the situation at the border has devolved into a crisis that is best solved by declaring a national emergency, freeing him up to gather funds to build a border wall from a range of sources.
