Andy Gordon discussed the potential outcomes of a lawsuit challenging President Trump’s border wall project with Fox News. The state of California filed the suit, claiming that the border wall would cause significant harm to the state, noting that the administration must follow up to 30 different regulations before constructing the wall.
