Michigan will join in a lawsuit seeking an injunction against President Trump's national emergency declaration.

Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Monday night that the state would join 15 others saying the declaration of a national emergency is a "manufactured crisis" and a "publicity stunt" that will raid federal funding and cost millions.

In a statement, Nessel said the declaration will redirect federal funding already appropriated for the state and divert it toward building a wall along the U-S and Mexico border.
