http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/361297-federal-judge-makes-permanent-ruling-against-trumps-sanctuary-city

A federal court on Monday blocked President Trump's executive order halting certain federal funds for so-called sanctuary cities, calling it "unconstitutional on its face."

"The defendants are permanently enjoined from enforcing Section 9(a) of the Executive Order against jurisdictions they deem as sanctuary jurisdictions. Because Section 9(a) is unconstitutional on its face, and not simply in its application to the plaintiffs here, a nationwide injunction against the defendants other than President Trump is appropriate," U.S. District Judge William Orrick ruled.

The injunction comes after Orrick issued a temporary ruling in late April that blocked Trumps directive to withhold some federal funding from cities that refuse to comply fully with federal immigration enforcement, siding with San Francisco and Santa Clara County.

The California municipalities had sued over the order, arguing that more than $2 billion in federal funding could be at stake.

Orrick, who was appointed by former President Obama, made his April decision permanent on Monday.

The Department of Justice slammed the decision in a statement, claiming the court overstepped its authority.

The District Court exceeded its authority today when it barred the President from instructing his cabinet members to enforce existing law. The Justice Department will vindicate the Presidents lawful authority to direct the executive branch, said spokesman Devin OMalley.

In a statement about his ruling on the case, Orrick dismissed the federal government's argument that the "the Executive Order was meant to be far more narrow than I interpreted it, a mere directive to the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice that does not seek to place any new conditions on federal funds."

"I concluded that the County of Santa Clara and the City and County of San Francisco had pre-enforcement standing to protect hundreds of millions of dollars of federal grants from the unconstitutionally broad sweep of the Executive Order," Orrick wrote.

Nobody isn't enforcing the law. Immigration isn't a state or local issue and federal law enforcement is more than able to enforce federal law in sanctuary cities. The idea that local law enforcement should have to waste city money to enforce federal law is ridiculous.

Well, I don't know what argument you're needlessly defending against, but saying that he's not a tyrant because he got blocked by checks and balances isn't a compelling argument.

And Trump has done what he can to overstep those checks and balances through executive orders so you're argument falls apart again.

He might not be an established tyrant but that doesn't mean he's not an aspiring one.

Edit: never mind, just realized who I was responding to.

No, that's why I didn't put much effort into my response, especially since very little was required in the first place.

Sounds like a coinflip, especially since illegal immigrants have to be paid under the table, thus adding strain to the local government without anything going back in.

That's not blocking federal law. Federal agents still enforce federal law in sanctuary cities.

Local law enforcement can refuse to hand inmates over at the feds request. There isnt much ICE can do if the illegal is let out of jail before ICE arrives.

Immigration is obviously a federal issue. The left wants the federal government in many aspects of our life, but has a problem with borders, a very basic function of government for a very long time.

How?

Not using municipal resources on matters that aren't under their purview is not blocking enforcement or federal legislation. Immigration is not the responsibility of local authorities, and sanctuary cities merely don't use resources investigating or reporting illegal immigration.


An illegal gets arrested, ICE checks the fingerprint and tells the county to hold the inmate for a couple more days, and the county says no. The intent here is clearly to block federal immigration law. Not to save costs by holding onto as many illegals as possible. That doesnt actually save money.

The logical next step here is ICE field offices suddenly appearing in or very near sanctuary cities, and the next next step is a 'revolving door' for illegals arrested for pretty much anything, when the ICE guys have a half-hour response time.

It's going to get a hell of a lot worse, very fast.

This was the right decision, but California is totally hypocritical on this issue. The CA state government has reserved the power to withhold funding from any CA city which hires a single non-union worker to build public works (doesn't matter if it's 100% city-funded, and it takes 5 years to get off the blacklist).

I'm skeptical of the logic that the Federal gov't isn't allowed to withhold funds from CA, yet CA has free-rein to hold funding hostage from its own cities. This abuse of power should be struck down at all levels.

California almost certainly has the legal means to do so. The federal executive branch does not.
