这一裁决使特朗普政府修建数百英里屏障的计划遭遇挫折，该计划引起了当地人的反对。
The ruling dealt a setback to the Trump administration’s plans for hundreds of miles of barriers that have drawn local opposition.
周五，埃尔帕索的一名联邦法官停止了大本德地区边境墙的建设，这对特朗普政府不顾当地强烈反对而设立数百英里屏障的努力造成了打击。
A federal judge in El Paso on Friday halted border wall construction across the Big Bend region, dealing a blow to the Trump administration’s effort to erect hundreds of miles of barriers despite fierce local opposition.
法官凯瑟琳·卡多内（Kathleen Cardone）在法官席上宣读的裁决中写道，联邦政府“不得在大本德地区建造边境屏障或相关基础设施，也不得从事任何建筑或扰乱地面活动”。
The federal government “shall not build border barrier or related infrastructure, or engage in any construction or ground disturbing activities, in the Big Bend sector,” the judge, Kathleen Cardone, wrote in her decision, which she read from the bench.
在一份长达两页的命令中，法官表示，联邦政府不能依赖其授予自己的环境法律和其他法律的豁免来加快建设，并写道“必须遵守所有适用法律”。该诉讼在德克萨斯州西区提起，试图阻止美国海关和边境保护局在与墨西哥接壤的500多英里的边境地区修建边境屏障。这些计划包括在大弯国家公园设置一些障碍物，一直是数月抗议和断断续续的建筑活动的焦点。国土安全部发言人周五没有立即回应置评请求。命令发布后，法院外，河道向导和环保活动人士欢呼雀跃。
In a two-page order, the judge said the federal government could not rely on waivers of environmental and other laws it had granted itself to speed up the construction, writing that it “must comply with all applicable laws.”The lawsuit, filed in the Western District of Texas, sought to stop U.S. Customs and Border Protection from building border barriers across a more-than-500-mile stretch of the frontier with Mexico. The plans, which include some barriers in Big Bend National Park, have been the focus of months of protests and stop-and-start construction activity. A spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday. Outside the courthouse, river guides and environmental activists cheered after the order was issued.
“我们今天躲过了一劫，”诉讼中指定原告之一、河流向导比利·米勒说。“这意味着我们可以继续向人们介绍荒野。他们的计划将毁掉任何人出去的经历。”
“We dodged a bullet today,” said Billy Miller, a river guide who was one of the named plaintiffs in the suit. “It means that we can continue to introduce people to the wildness. Their plan was going to ruin the experience of anybody going out there.”
“任何建设都不能继续，”生物多样性中心的倡导者、周五在法庭上的原告证人莱肯·乔达尔（Laiken Jordahl）说。“所有的推土机都被停在了整个边境地区。”这是一个不断发展的故事。请回来查看更新。
“No constructions can continue,” said Laiken Jordahl, an advocate with the Center for Biological Diversity and a witness for the plaintiffs who was in the courtroom on Friday. “All the bulldozers have been stopped across the entire border sector.”This is a developing story.
