A federal judge refused on Friday to block the Trump administration from taking steps to build 62 miles of international border wall along part of a Native American tribe’s reservation without its consent.

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon in Washington, D.C., denied the Tohono O’odham Nation’s request for a court-ordered halt to border wall construction on its 2.8-million-acre reservation. Leon ruled the tribe hasn’t established that a border wall will change its reservation boundaries without congressional authority.

The judge also rejected the tribe’s claim that the planned border wall would illegally trespass on its reservation.

    Fear not for the most wonderful day is soon upon us. On that day, most of the world will stop and take time to celebrate. When it happens, a majority of the world will stop and celebrate and jump in the air with joy. I’m talking about the most beautiful day that is soon to come. It’s only a matter of time before it happens, and it will happen in all of our lifetimes. It will be a glorious day, and we all will jump and shout with joy. Any day now. Statistically it honestly can’t be that much longer. Hang in there gang it’s only a matter of time.
