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.

Because it’s tiresome and what they are doing is illegal. They need less power and acknowledging any sense of legitimacy in their actions gives them power that doesn’t and shouldn’t exist.
Why is the executive required to ask permission of the courts to do his duty enshrined in the Constitution?
Already adjudicated
These revolt judges don’t seem ashamed to be overruled or scolded
Not sure what punishment remedy is for when they rule in defiance of higher court rulings
Because commie judges are doing the bidding of the open border commies who need illegals for congressional seats
The root of the problem with all these rogue judges is...John Roberts.
“Every single Friday night a black robed tyrant either appointed by Obama or Biden issues an order blocking Trump’s agenda.”
He probably is paid by the funds.

Gorsuch has got to be saying, not this crap again.
The judge cited the fifth and tenth amendment.
Fifth:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Tenth:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
What kind of pretzel logic is he trying to use to say that the federal government has to fund city governments?
hadnt heard that one in a while
IGNORE

Who’s the president? Trump or these leftist judges? That question needs to be settled.
“Obama is the cancer that won’t stop growing.”
Hopefully, after 4 years of Trump MAGACHEMO, the Obamoma will shrink into a benign minuscule pea. Trump team is zapping that cancer daily.
He was ruling from the nearby bath house. They lovingly call him gay Billy Boy there.
So just don’t fund the first 30 “sanctuary cities” and forget anything over thirty.
“Judges” are not above the law. They need to stop their insurrection against the Executive and Legislative branches.
Here is the link to the Judge’s Order that both hack Christine Laila at TGP and hack Sudhin Thanawala from AP were too lazy to provide. Laila is incredibly lazy as the bulk of her article is repeating what Thanawala wrote.

If I’m not mistaken, Boston, Massachusetts and San Francisco, California belong to different districts. How could one federal judge issue an order that applies to more than one district? It sounds like a nationwide injunction. I expect the Supreme Court will knock this judge’s order down.
How does a district judge have authority nationwide?
Furiously jackassin’
Bad rulings, yes
That doesn’t make it illegal
This is why we have higher Courts
Congress can make the removal statutory upon a set number of overturns on the Constitutional grounds that faulty opinions constitute bad behavior, pending review by the Senate.
Giving judges lifetime jobs is not a good idea. Who would have thunk it?
