I don’t think these counties have much of a legal leg to stand on. Strings get attached to government funds all the time.

Case law says otherwise; withholding funds for not being compliant with an ever changing and mutating set of rules? That's never gone well with judges in the past, and the sanctuary city cases imply that grants administered by states are to be distributed 'even if they operate contrary to the desires of the state executive branch.'

Considering the liberal load in the courthouse, I wouldn't guarantee a win, but there'd probably be a line of lawyers ready to go ask that question.
