A federal judge in San Francisco has ruled against President Trump's attempt to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities. This ruling affects over 30 cities that have policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
• Judge's Decision: U. S. District Judge William Orrick blocked the Trump administration from cutting off funds to cities like Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles, as well as others.
• Preceding Injunctions: Judge Orrick previously issued a preliminary injunction that protected other sanctuary cities, including Portland and San Francisco, from similar funding cuts.
• Legal Basis for Ruling: The judge stated that withholding funds is unconstitutional, violating both the Fifth and Tenth Amendments and due process rights.
• Background: This ruling came after cities like Santa Clara and San Francisco filed lawsuits against the Trump administration, seeking to prevent funding cuts related to executive orders targeting sanctuary jurisdictions.
• Judge's Criticism: In his ruling, Judge Orrick criticized Trump's repeated attempts to defund sanctuary cities and emphasized that such actions violate constitutional separation of powers principles.
Judge Orrick's ruling reaffirms legal protections for sanctuary cities by preventing the Trump administration from limiting their federal funding. The judge found the administration's actions to be unconstitutional, continuing a precedent set in previous cases against similar executive orders.
