Federal Court Bars Trump from Withholding Funds to Sanctuary Cities

HeadlineAug 02, 2018

A federal court has declared President Trump’s executive order withholding funds from sanctuary cities in California unconstitutional. However, Wednesday’s ruling by a three-judge panel on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will lift a nationwide injunction against Trump’s crackdown on sanctuary cities. A lower court is now slated to consider reimposing that injunction. Cities across California—and in many other states—have passed sanctuary city policies barring local police from cooperating with federal immigration agencies.
