Well, what happens when AG Sessions starts withholding funds from sanctuary cities in non-compliance with federal law and another "judge" overturns that order?

I'm fairly convinced this will happen.

What then?

How much crap should the President take?

Good question. I think you’re right. Some judge or six will say that the Feds can’t withhold funds from sanctuary cities. The judiciary is way stacked against Trump. And I’m inclined to think he doesn’t have nearly enough of his team in place to adequately fight them all in court. It’s gonna be one helluva slog.

It's already happening. Seattle Files Lawsuit Over ‘Sanctuary Cities’ Funding Threat

Here's my concern:

The article says these monies are "grants," not allocated funds from a Congressional budget.

As grants, aren't they totally discretionary from the Justice Department? DoJ can choose which agencies to award grants and which one to not, correct?

I don't see how a judge can compel the Department of Justice to "grant" money to a specific agency, otherwise it is no longer a grant. If a judge converts a grant into a budgetary funding, then it is encroaching on both Executive and Congressional powers.
