JUSTTHENEWS (Nicholas Ballasy) - Judge rejects attempt to halt Trump from building border wall along tribe’s reservation

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled Friday that the tribe had not shown that construction would unlawfully change the boundaries of its 2.8-million-acre reservation or amount to an illegal trespass.

AI:U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled Friday that the Trump administration can proceed with border wall construction near tribal lands, dealing a major blow to legal attempts to obstruct the project. The tribe failed to provide substantive evidence proving that construction would result in illegal trespass or unlawfully alter the boundaries of its 2.8-million-acre reservation. This decision clears a significant hurdle for national security efforts as the administration continues to fortify the border against illegal crossings, rejecting arguments that attempted to use tribal sovereignty as a pretext to halt essential infrastructure development.Open

The Army withdrew a new policy requiring ROTC cadets to meet a minimum SAT score just seven days after issuing it, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is not pleased with the reversal. An internal Army memo dated August 5 established, for the first time, minimum standardized test scores for students entering the ROTC program: a 1000 on the SAT, a 20 on the ACT, or a score above the 50th percentile on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, the military's own entrance exam. The standards were set to take effect in January. Jules Hurst, then the assistant secretary of the Army for manpower and reserve affairs, signed the memo and framed the change as essential to building a fighting force led by capable officers.
