US government sued over plan on border wall

LOS ANGELES - California's Attorney General Xavier Becerra on Wednesday announced a lawsuit against the Trump administration's plan to build a wall along the border between the United States and Mexico.

Becerra filed the suit in San Diego, a southern Californian city on the border between the two countries, focusing on halting the construction of a wall in San Diego and the replacement of barriers there and in Calexico, another border city in Imperial County of California.

According to the 53-page indictment, the defendants are the United States of America, the United States Department of Homeland Security, former DHS secretary John Kelly, acting DHS Secretary Elaine Duke, the United States Customs and Border Protection and acting CBP Commissioner Kevin K. McAleenan.
