Democrats in the US House of Representatives plan to introduce a resolution to end President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration on border security, according to aids to Representative Joaquin Castro.

Ninety-two lawmakers have joined Mr Castro in backing the legislation, which under House rules, could advance within weeks to a debate by the full chamber, controlled by the Democrats.

The move follows Mr Trump’s declaration of national emergency last week to take already appropriated funds for other activities to build a border wall.
