Federal judge blocks Trump from denying funds to sanctuary cities | TheHill

"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."'

'Leinenweber said in his 41-page ruling that Chicago had shown a "likelihood of success" in its arguments that Sessions exceeded his authority in July when he announced that the DOJ would withhold public safety grants to sanctuary cities. '

'Sessions condemned sanctuary cities like Chicago, arguing that policies that prohibit local law enforcement from aiding Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents makes cities less safe.“So-called sanctuary policies make all of us less safe because they intentionally undermine our laws and protect illegal aliens who have committed crimes,” Sessions said in a statement at the time.
