US President, Donald Trump has been warned by Democrats not to circumvent Congress and divert already appropriated money towards building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
The declaration was made by a Congressional delegation of Democrats touring a Border Patrol facility in New Mexico on Monday.
“He can expect a strong and swift challenge from all of us and other members of Congress, and from the American people,” said U.S. Representative Joaquin Castro, when asked about Trump’s planned address to the nation and his visit to the border on Thursday.
In a related development, a package of bills that would re-open the federal government without approving money for Trump’s border wall is set to be introduced by US House Democrats.
According to reports, the package to end the shutdown will include one bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security at current levels, with $1.3bn for border security, through February 8.
