A federal judge on Tuesday, the 25th blocked a Trump administration order withholding funding from communities that fail to enforce federal immigration law or cooperate with US immigration authorities in another big blow to the Trump’s plan to “Make America Great Again.”
This news is just breaking today so more to come on this most recent roadblock.
An April 18 blog post on Judicial Watch titled, “New York Towns, Cities Follow AG’s Order to Adopt Illegal Alien Sanctuary Laws,” detailed the stupidity being enacted by liberal lawmakers in New York, joining others such as California in confronting the Trump administration.
Nearly a dozen New York State municipalities have followed the state attorney general’s recent “legal guidance” for how to skirt federal immigration law and continue its sanctuary city/state status. The purpose of that document was to: “assist local authorities that wish to become ‘sanctuary’ jurisdictions by offering model language that can be used to enact local laws or policies that limit participation in immigration enforcement activities.”

This judge needs to be arrested.
Move it to the Supreme Court.
Trump should start enforcing federal marijuana laws in CA.
Ok.
Arresting local officials as accessories is kosher dill.
If this is allowed to stand, I want one state to declare itself a 2nd Amendment sanctuary state where the NFA ‘34 and GCA ‘68 and FOPA ‘86 are null and void.
“Trump should start enforcing federal marijuana laws in CA.”
Yeah.
Just eliminate the federal funding. Period. End of story. Let the states and local governments fund their own expenses.
Judge William H. Orrick who blocked Trump Sanctuary City order donated $250,000 to Obama to get his job...
Time for Congress to put some teeth in the POTUS’s ability to line item veto. This Judge can rule anyway he wants but if no money is allotted by the feds to the sanctuary jurisdiction, they will burn in hell regardless.

I guess the judge can go over to the treasury and grab some dough for NY himself.
Thank God the republicans control Both Houses of Congress, so they can reign in these black robed recalcitrant tyrants.

ORRICK. POS.
Yours is the correct approach. Withholding appropriated funds could arguably be in violation of the Impoundment Act. Trump will lose this argument every time.
Exactly how does a judge have the authority to tell the President that he must fund cities that are openly breaking the law? To any legal experts out there, can President Trump just ignore this?
After listening to Judge Napolitano on FNC, this does not surprise me. He said you have to make the stipulations when the money is granted, not after.
How about we have a counterfeit money sanctuary city?
Just Say No - to these federal district judges
They should not be able to affect the Executive branch
I like the sound of that regardless of whether this current foolishness stands or not.
