BREAKING: California Judge Blocks Trump Order Withholding Funding for ‘Sanctuary Cities’

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge in San Francisco has blocked a Trump administration order to withhold funding from communities that limit cooperation with U.S. immigration authorities.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick issued the temporary ruling Tuesday in a lawsuit over the executive order targeting so-called sanctuary cities. The decision will stay in place while the lawsuit moves through court.

The Republican president’s administration and two California governments that sued over the order disagreed about its scope.

San Francisco and Santa Clara County argued that it threatened billions of dollars in federal funding.

But an attorney for the Justice Department, Chad Readler, said at a recent court hearing that it applied to a limited set of grants.

Readler said less than $1 million was at stake nationally and possibly no San Francisco funding.

We are finished as the once great country. I see the rule of law does not apply to judges who just disregard it. Sanctuary cities are illegal and breaking the law. Judges are out of control now. No fear of impeachment when there should be.

What this judge did today was totally illegal. He needs to removed from the bench.

How can a San Francisco judge block the President from legally withholding funds from San Francisco?

Would this qualify as a Constitutional crisis? Can it immedeiately be brought to the Supreme Court? Just GET IT DONE!!! This is outrageous.

And this is the tough measure that will make all the sanctuary cities get in line?

OK, then start the prosecutions for aiding and abetting. That should get the mayors attention.

Kind of hard to make the argument that cities can’t protect illegal aliens from the law when the administration is protecting illegal aliens from the law with DACA.
