BREAKING: Federal Judge Blocks Trump Admin Exec Order Defunding Sanctuary Cities

Judge Orrick pointed out, though, that the order:
“…does not affect the ability of the Attorney General or the Secretary to enforce existing conditions of federal grants or 8 U.S.C. 1373, nor does it impact the Secretary’s ability to develop regulations or other guidance defining what a sanctuary jurisdiction is or designating a jurisdiction as such.”

Sanctuary city fans, enjoy a symbolic victory.
