It didn't get much attention, but the 9th Circuit Court in San Francisco actually surprised with its ruling, siding with the Trump administration in its bid to withhold discretionary funding from cities that refuse to assist ICE as sanctuary cities.
A federal appeals court ruled in favor of President Trump's administration in a case involving federal dollars being withheld from cities based in part on their "Sanctuary city" status.
The 2-1 opinion from a panel on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a nationwide injunction issued by a federal judge, who sided the city of Los Angeles in its lawsuit over Community Oriented Policing Services grants, which are determined by a point system that takes into account whether the city applying is a sanctuary city.
The Trump administration found Los Angeles did not qualify for the grant because it failed to receive enough points under 2017 rules put in place by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, which gave cities extra points for cooperating with the federal immigration officials with illegal immigrants who have been detained in city jails.
This isn't just any illegal immigrants we are talking about - these are illegals who are in jail for committing additional crimes beyond breaking and entering into the U.S. It would seem like a no-brainer for cities to help the feds get rid of illegals who are so bad they've proven to be predators on the locals, but blue cities have other priorities.
The leftist courts up until now have always found merit on the thwart-Trump side, saying yes to any activist request, including the really stupid one from the Sierra Club, with the Supreme Court ruling that yes, the Sierra Club has a right to enjoy its scenery so President Trump can't use military funds to defend the country from an actual invasion.
The current ongoing idiocy and this one little ruling of sanity from the 9th circuit appeals court matters just as much as it did in 2016.
