Sanctuary cities ruling: When a judge quotes Sean Spicer, its not a good sign for the White House

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/04/26/sanctuary-cities-ruling-when-a-judge-quotes-sean-spicer-its-not-a-good-sign-for-the-white-house/?utm_term=.d3dcb9cbff66

When a long list of comments from President Trump, his surrogates and his spokesmen shows up in a federal court ruling, it’s fair to say it can only mean one thing: a constitutionally questionable executive order is about to get a judicial smackdown.

The 49-page ruling focused largely on an all-too-familiar theme for the young administration: the consequences of bragging and bluster by Trump and top administration officials.

And the judge brought up remarks by White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who said in no uncertain terms that “counties and other institutions that remain sanctuary cities don’t get federal government funding.”

On top of that, the judge said, Trump and Sessions had repeatedly held up San Francisco as an example of the supposed dangers sanctuary cities pose to ordinary, law-abiding citizens because of the killing there of Kathryn Steinle in July 2015, allegedly by a man deported five times.
