The Senate is expected to take up the issue in coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, in a letter to acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, a group of House Democrats demanded that the military turn over a list of construction project categories which could be targeted in the funding shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Tuesday, a group of Senate Democrats lead by Durbin sent a letter asking for a list of projects deemed \u201ctoo valuable to be used to pay for the wall,\u201d in order to provide insight into how decisions are being made.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2018\/12\/11\/trump-says-troops-could-finish-building-border-wall\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1071230220cc.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Trump says troops could finish building border wall<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Troop deployment to the Mexico border has raised questions about improper use of armed forces.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senate Armed Services Committee ranking member Jack Reed, D-R.I., said he believes that military leaders already have a good idea of which projects will be hurt by the move. \u201cIf they don\u2019t, they should be criticized for being incompetent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reed said officials are likely waiting on congressional and court challenges to the emergency declaration before releasing any of that information. But doing so violates the transparency that military leaders are supposed to have with Congress and undermines the relationship between the executive and military branches, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defense officials have said they will not target programs that compromise military \u201clethality\u201d but have declined to name specific projects.

spending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawmakers are growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of details on how the national emergency declaration will impact military
