Federal judge blocks Trump from denying funds to sanctuary cities

[yortsed snacilbuper]

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's rules requiring so-called sanctuary cities to help enforce federal immigration laws in order to receive funding.

U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced new rules governing DOJ law enforcement grants, The Chicago Tribune reports.

And not just for itself but for all the sanctuary cities.

5. I was fairly certain it was unconstitutional.

After the ruling on the ACA that gave states the right to refuse the Medicaid expansion, there was little chance of this move by Trump holding constitutional muster.
