US Judge who President Trump repeatedly attacked as 'Mexican' and 'biased' during 2016 election says he inclined to asserts right to rule on border wall
U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel said during 2½ hours of arguments Friday in San Diego that he was leaning towards presiding over the case
Curiel asked the administration and wall opponents to file additional briefings by the end of Tuesday
The state of California and advocacy groups want Judge Curiel to rule that a border wall with Mexico must go through normal environmental reviews
Trump repeatedly criticized Curiel in 2016 as lawsuits against Trump University neared trial
Trump suggested that the judge's Mexican heritage meant he could not be impartial
At issue is a 2005 law that gave the Homeland Security secretary broad powers to waive dozens of laws requiring environmental and other reviews
