A federal judge has blocked a push by President Donald Trump to federally defund cities that have adopted so-called sanctuary policies for illegal immigrants.
In an April 24 order granting a preliminary injunction, federal Judge William H. Orrick of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, sided with the plaintiffs: San Francisco, Santa Clara, and 14 other cities that would be affected by executive orders to strip federal taxpayer funding from them.
