This is AP News Minute.

President Donald Trump¹ has declared a national emergency at the southern border and will use his executive authority to take billions of dollars that had been allocated² for other projects to build his border wall. Democrats³ are blasting the move as unconstitutional.

Legal challenges to the President's declaration could also amount. Top officials in California say they'll likely file a suit. They say there is no crisis at the border and the President lacks the authority to make the declaration.

Vice⁴ President Mike Pence made his first visit to Auschwitz, the concentration camp where the Nazis⁵ killed more than a million people, most of them Jews, in what was then occupied Poland.

After years of searching, park rangers⁶ in Mexico have found a large monarch⁷ butterfly colony. Officials say the colony will be off limits to public viewings to protect the insects while they hibernate⁸.
