Judge smacks down Trump administration’s effort to pressure sanctuary cities
A big blow to the Justice Department's immigration crackdown.
A judge has ruled that a law used by the Department of Justice to cut funding to sanctuary cities and states is unconstitutional, dealing a blow to the Trump administration’s efforts to force California to cooperate with its immigration crackdown.
According the Associated Press, the judge in the case, William Orrick also ordered the administration to give California the $28 million it had previously withheld.
The AP also noted that Judge Orrick in his ruling on Friday agreed with California’s argument that being compelled to cooperate with U.S. immigration officials made it harder for local law enforcement to serve their communities was a compelling reason to strike down the law.
