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.
I’m reading reports on another thread that this is just an advisory opinion and has no legal standing. This may be much ado about nothing...

Aren’t all federal courts in California in the 9th circuit?
The left is making up their own rules. If you legally strike it down (Supreme Court), they’ll bring another lawsuit for a different aspect.
It’s not going to work playing by the rules while they have total disregard for what is legal or fair.
Where do these black-robed thugs think they get the authority to stop the President of the United States from following the law? Far-left judges disgust me. I hope he is impeached, removed from office, investigated until his crimes and embarrassing secrets are made public, shunned by all decent people, and otherwise given a hard time (within the law) by the decent people of California.
OK, we all know what’s going on here.
When faced with an executive decision they don’t like, the `rats—like tattling siblings immediately run to a `rat in a gown.
Time for President Trump to start saying, “You’ve got your order. Great. Now enforce it.”
Next, he contacts the US Treasury and pertinent government agencies and instructs them that no federal funds will go to ________________, _______________ and _________________.
For any here hyperventilating, there will be no “constitutional crisis”. They simply get slapped down.
They lost, we won. They don’t get to call the shots.
These things they keep saying are (now) illegal (”`cause we say so”) involving immigrants breaking our laws are all within the jurisdiction of the office of the presidency: his powers and duty to repel invasion—like the veto power—and the `rats are attempting to usurp these powers and subvert, not just the electoral process, but the Constitution itself.
Trump needs to just IGNORE this and forge ahead!
“Sandra Day O’Conner says it is wrong to criticize the judiciary.
Many in the judiciary need tar and feathering”
The purpose of tar and feathering is to being lasting shame. These people have no shame. I was thinking more in terms of drawing and quartering...
Everything Trump does is going to have to be decided in the USSC so long as trump continues to play within the system.
FIRST, he needs to be ignored. The Judiciary is NOT Constitutionally supreme. the Executive and the Legislative branches can Constitutionally make their own Constitutional decisions.
Congress can abolish that particular court. The Constitution only establishes the Supreme Court and lets the Congress determine the needs for lower courts.
When, four years from now?
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is the Appellate Court for the Western US and Hawaii. The Federal District Courts are a level lower. And while the one in question is within the Ninth Circuit isn't part of it per se.
Thanks for the correction. Catching heck for my blunder. I thought I saw “county judge”.
“The purpose of tar and feathering is to being lasting shame. These people have no shame.”
But it does cause your skin to fall off!
Should the CALIFORNIA JUDGE step aside because of a conflict of interest? This case should be passed to another state.
Yes, thanks Cboldt.
A federal judge has no authority to demand and require the federal government to disperse grant money to anyone, anywhere, any time. If a federal judge had that power the cities and states would constantly be in court demanding the federal treasury be emptied into their accounts.
Okay then, remove all stipulation wording and announce ALL grants to ALL cities and states are now stopped. Be sure to mention this judges ruling to all the non-sanctuary cities and states that just lost funding.
