A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump from withholding federal funding from over a dozen sanctuary cities and counties that are hindering his administration’s illegal immigration enforcement.
U.S. District Judge William Orrick, who was nominated by former President Barack Obama, issued a decision that implicated 16 cities and counties, barring the Trump administration from holding back any federal funding from these areas. Those jurisdictions include cities such as Minneapolis, New Haven, Portland, St. Paul, Santa Fe, and Seattle.
