A federal appeals court ruled last week that the Trump administration is well within its rights to reward cities who cooperate with ICE, specifically involving deportations.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Friday that the Trump administration could reward cities with grant money if they cooperate with ICE or use the funds to beef up emigration enforcement, The Washington Times reported.
In a 2-1 decision, the federal appeals court dismissed the city of Los Angeles' claim and asserted the Trump administration isn't coercing anyone.
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said, "This ruling reverses a lawless decision that enabled sanctuary city policies, putting the safety and security of all Americans in harm's way."
While previous attempts have been made to withhold money from grant programs who fail to comply with ICE, this is the first time a court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration's attempt to reward cities who comply, The Washington Times reported.
It's no secret that President Donald Trump has been a longtime critic of sanctuary cities.
Earlier this year, Trump said he was "Giving strong considerations" to placing illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities.
