“The government’s plan to build a 670-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexico border took another step forward Monday when the Supreme Court turned away a legal challenge from environmentalists.

The court’s action clears the way for U.S. officials to press ahead with the project with little worry that judges will be able to stop it.”*
