The Trump administration suffered another legal defeat on its sanctuary city crackdown after a judge Friday permanently blocked the government from retaliating against Chicagos sanctuary policy by stripping away its police grant money.
U.S. District Judge Harry D. Leinenweber, a Reagan appointee to the bench, said the administration is free to track down illegal immigrants on its own, but it cannot force Chicago to cooperate in reporting or turning them over.
His ruling follows similar defeats for the Trump administration in California and Philadelphia, where judges have also ruled against the administrations attempts to condition Byrne Justice Assistance Grant money on better cooperation on immigration.

Just stop all federal money going to local/state law enforcement. Most of the money is sent to the same cities and states that have the sanctuary status anyways. Like most federal aid it follows poverty.
It’s time for Scotus. Immigration is TOTALLY Federal. There is no states rights.
I’m so sick of this crap about calling them immigrants and relationships with the police.
immigrants do not have a problem, it is the illegal immigrants which have a problem.
Two groups are very different, and most legal immigrants do not want illegals here since they went through the proper channels.
“It was a classic negative financial incentive offer.”

Etc
“permanently blocked the government from retaliating”
That’s a good one...haha
Deport em all toot sweet.
Is that jFK Jr?
What do you call the lawyer who graduated last in his class? “Your honor.”
They should send a US Marshal to punch him in the mouth.
Gee, no judicial activist (that’s what judges are now days) had a problem when the NHTSA forced states to enact seatbelt laws or lose federal highway funds.....
Actually there is no requirement that local jurisdictions enforce federal law or even cooperate with federal authorities. The recent spate of allowing marijuana usage by the states is in contravention of federal law. The DEA can move on stores that sell pot but it is unlikely they will. The judge here follows Ronald Reagan’s direction and understanding of federal vs state power. The non citizenship voting thing, spoken of on other threads, is different as it confers a right spoken clearly as belonging to citizens by the 26th Amendment
It’s some random dude pretending he’s President of the United States - like these black-robed clowns...
law enforcements relationship with immigrant communities and decrease the cooperation essential to prevent and solve crimes both within those communities
This is a total canard and not true. They only want their votes.
England's King John [of Magna Carta fame] had a saying for that:
"The law is in my mouth."
Just another Judicial dictator.
Juck the fudge.
All of these idiotic decisions get appealed and eventually the Trump position will be vindicated either by an Appeals Court or the Supreme Court. That article is written as if the Circuit Court Judge has the last say, he does not.
It sure does as their and OUR tax dollars go to pay for these freeloaders.
