Judge Who Was the Target of Trump's Racist Attacks to Hear a Major Case on the Border Wall
Gonzalo Curiel, the federal judge who was subjected to a series of hateful and racist attacks about his Mexican heritage in 2016 from then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, is slated to hear a case Friday that will help determine whether Trump can use decades-old waivers to bypass environmental laws and build his desired U.S.-Mexico border wall.
McClatchy first reported on the assignment Monday, noting that it’ll likely attract the attention of the president.
