Breaking Late: Obama Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Withholding Funds From More Than 30 ‘Sanctuary Cities’
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 22, 2025 | Cristina Laila

A federal judge out of San Francisco on Friday blocked President Trump from pulling federal funds from ‘sanctuary cities.’

US District Judge William Orrick, and Obama appointee, blocked Trump from withholding funds from Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles and more than 30 other sanctuary cities.

The Associated Press reported:

A judge ruled late Friday the Trump administration cannot deny funding to Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles and 30 other cities and counties because of policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration efforts.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick in San Francisco extended a preliminary injunction blocking the administration from cutting off or conditioning the use of federal funds for so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions. His earlier order protected more than a dozen other cities and counties, including San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.

..... Snip.....

“Here we go again,” Judge Orrick wrote in his 6-page order blasting Trump for his second round of executive orders aimed at ending the subsidization of open borders.

In 2017, Judge Orrick permanently blocked a similar executive order from Trump’s effort to defund sanctuary cities.

The judge said withholding funds from sanctuary jurisdictions is unconstitutional. He said it violates the Fifth and Tenth Amendments and also violates due process.

Every single Friday night a black robed tyrant either appointed by Obama or Biden issues an order blocking Trump's agenda.

1. Sanctuary cities: do not have to obey the law.
2. Judges: do not have to obey the law.
3. Trump: must obey the “law.”

The judge has issued his decision. Let him enforce it.

Helluva way to self-destruct one’s career (once Trump is done with him).

Anybody keeping count of how many small judges have made these rulings to slow Trump down?

I guess he didn’t get the memo on no more nation-wide injunctions. Or, more likely, he did get it and just ignored it.

I’m not sure on how many judges but it’s been well over 100+ rulings trying to thwart Trump’s policies since taking office.

The federal government holds funds hostage for all sorts of things. Don’t comply, lose the money. Nothing new.

It’s time for SCOTUS to start throwing some of these low tier, bottom feeding primate “judges” in jail. They aren’t authorized to pull all this anti-American BS they are pulling. They are a threat to the DemonRATS Damockrazy. Lock the ahos up!

Obama is the cancer that won’t stop growing. As soon as a democrat is elected, these communists will all be advanced to the Appellate level.
And just my opinion, JD Vance is no Trump and cannot be counted on to win.

It doesn’t work that way, not even remotely.
