US EditionJudge blocks Trump from cutting funding from 34 cities and counties over 'sanctuary' policies
U.S. District Judge William Orrick ruled Trump's executive orders violate constitutional principles and blocked withholding over $250 million in federal grants tied to sanctuary policies.
- On Friday evening, U.S. District Judge William Orrick issued a ruling preventing the Trump administration from withholding federal funds from a group of cities and counties—including major municipalities such as Boston, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles—due to their sanctuary policies that restrict collaboration with federal immigration authorities.
- This decision came after President Trump issued executive orders instructing federal officials to withhold funding from jurisdictions that implement policies protecting undocumented immigrants from federal immigration enforcement.
- In May, a list identifying over 500 sanctuary jurisdictions as noncompliant was released by Homeland Security, while the Justice Department initiated lawsuits against several cities, including New York and Los Angeles, regarding their sanctuary policies.
- Judge Orrick called the administration's actions an unconstitutional coercive threat and extended a preliminary injunction blocking funding cuts, noting the administration offered no opposition to the extension.
- The ruling preserves billions of dollars in federal funds for sanctuary jurisdictions and signals judicial resistance to the administration's efforts to punish cities limiting immigration enforcement cooperation.
