"A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's rules requiring so-called sanctuary cities to help enforce federal immigration laws in order to receive funding."
'The city of Chicago sued the Trump administration last month over the DOJ’s threat to withhold those grants from "sanctuary cities," which are cities that refuse to help federal authorities enforce immigration laws. '
'In July, the agency announced that a popular grant program that provides money to local law enforcement for training and supplies would only apply "to cities and states that comply with federal law, allow federal immigration access to detention facilities, and provide 48 hours notice before they release an illegal alien wanted by federal authorities."'
