Nevada law enforcement agencies that seize cash and assets from motorists and others suspected of illegal activity may lose revenue under President Trump’s funding formula for building a wall via emergency executive action.

Trump announced today he’ll take $600 million from Treasury Department forfeiture funds to help raise the $8 billion he wants for building a wall on the nation’s southern border.

Attorney General Aaron Ford is vowing to fight the Trump administration should the state lose funding.

“Our office will work with Nevada’s federal delegation and, should Nevada’s federal funds be depleted or harmed in any way by this latest effort, the Trump Administration should be prepared for a legal challenge from my office,” Ford said in a statement.

In 2016, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nevada collected $26.8 million in criminal and civil seizures as well as asset forfeitures. A portion of the money is returned to law enforcement agencies to be used for restricted purposes. The U.S. Attorney collected $22.5 million in Nevada in 2015.

“Forfeited assets deposited into the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund are used to restore funds to crime victims and for a variety of law enforcement purposes,” says the U.S. Attorney’s website.

The U.S. Attorneys in Nevada declined to comment on today’s emergency action and referred the Current to the president’s declaration, which makes no mention of how the Treasury forfeiture money will be tapped.

The controversial practice, which allows seizures and forfeitures prior to conviction, was reigned in under the Obama administration by then-Attorney General Eric Holder, but Trump’s former AG Jeff Sessions, expanded law enforcement’s rights.
