Judge Blocks Trump’s Attempt to Strip Funds from Sanctuary Cities
In a major legal setback, a federal judge has ruled that President Trump cannot deny federal funding to sanctuary cities—municipalities that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
The decision affirms that:
The executive branch cannot bypass Congress to impose funding conditions
Immigration enforcement cooperation must remain voluntary at the local level
Attempts to financially coerce cities into compliance violate separation of powers
Impacted cities include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and others that refuse to detain undocumented immigrants solely for federal pickup.
Trump’s administration framed the move as necessary for national security.
The court framed it as a constitutional overreach.
JSA2026 Response:
We support law and order, but we also support local control.
We need national immigration reform, not federal blackmail.
