The federal judge blocks the financing cuts of the Trump administration in sanctuary cities

A federal judge ruled on Friday that the Trump administration could not reduce funding to 34 cities and counties in response to so -called “sanctuary” policies that limit cooperation with the federal immigration application.

The American district judge William Orrick, who published a previous order protecting more than a dozen other cities and counties, has extended a preliminary injunction preventing administration from drawing federal money or conditioning the use of funds for local courts.

The judge also prevented the administration from placing immigration conditions on two grant programs.

Orrick said that the administration’s only opposition to an extended injunction claimed that the first injunction was wrong after appealing the first order.

The administration has increased pressure on the jurisdictions of the sanctuary as part of President Donald Trump’s mass expulsion plan.

Trump published a Decree leading the Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Secretary at the Ministry of Internal Security Kristi Noem to retain federal money from the sanctuary communities. He also instructed all federal agencies to ensure that payments to governments of states and local are not “so -called” sanctuary “policies who seek to protect illegal expulsion foreigners,” reported the Associated Press.

Many cities and counties have continued the federal government, stressing that billions of dollars in funding were threatened. The Ministry of Justice has also continued several cities, including New York and Los Angeles, on sanctuary policies.

Orrick said Trump’s orders and the “executive actions that perceived them” have demonstrated a “coercive threat” which he deemed unconstitutional.

Earlier this year, the DHS has published a list of more than 500 jurisdictions of the sanctuary that the federal government has decided to be non -compliant with the administration guidelines, adding that they would each be officially informed.

The DHS also said that it would advise local communities if they potentially violate federal criminal laws.

The list was then deleted from the DHS website after the ministry was informed that it included communities in support of the administration’s immigration policies, AP reported.
