A federal judge on Tuesday, the 25th blocked a Trump administration order withholding funding from communities that fail to enforce federal immigration law or cooperate with US immigration authorities in another big blow to the Trump’s plan to “Make America Great Again.”
This news is just breaking today so more to come on this most recent roadblock.
An April 18 blog post on Judicial Watch titled, “New York Towns, Cities Follow AG’s Order to Adopt Illegal Alien Sanctuary Laws,” detailed the stupidity being enacted by liberal lawmakers in New York, joining others such as California in confronting the Trump administration.
Nearly a dozen New York State municipalities have followed the state attorney general’s recent “legal guidance” for how to skirt federal immigration law and continue its sanctuary city/state status. The purpose of that document was to: “assist local authorities that wish to become ‘sanctuary’ jurisdictions by offering model language that can be used to enact local laws or policies that limit participation in immigration enforcement activities.”

The injunction has no effect. It stops nothing. It does nothing.
The judge must be punished for this PR stunt.
Full autos for everyone!
This is terrible news. No wall, no Obamacare repeal, no ban on refugees, no punishing sanctuary cities.
How does the President punch through this?
That is completely beside the point. The EO doesn’t change the funding.
Sorry to hear Napolitano gave such an inane commentary.
No, this is fake news.
It's PR stunt—nothing more...
I hope you’re right, and I hope President Trump knows this. The idea that a judge can force a President to fund a city that is openly breaking federal laws is beyond belief.
I don’t like it any more than you do, but the Judge’s order is not fake news.
Congress ( or whomever has the power to do so ) should immediately impeach these judges.
POTUS’s ability to line item veto.
So we cant build a wall to protect our children or even kick out the illegals to protect our children. The Democrats are going down on these issues. Finished. Know slightly left Californians who even want the crime stopped now.
Are you saying the administration can go ahead and stop funding sanctuary cities?
He doesn’t know how to and so, he just caves. He has LOUSY advisers.
Go read up on old Andy Jackson.
Who’s he listening to?
Pull the judge off the bench like the guy got dragged off the plane!
Trump should demand that it be put into the budget that no funding goes to sanctuary cities or any entity that refuses to enforce federal law. These cities were ordered to obey federal law and they refused to comply. We don’t owe them any funding.
But if funds are appropriated based on certain conditions being met and those conditions are not met, why then would it be unlawful to withhold those funds?
pay to play....
slow-walk, double-check, audit, etc.
death by delay
