As the Trump administration continues a broader effort to curb illegal immigration, a coalition of cities and counties filed a lawsuit on Feb. 7 challenging his executive order that forces sanctuary jurisdictions to cooperate with deportations.
The group of jurisdictions, led by San Francisco and Santa Clara County in California, filed its lawsuit in federal court, arguing that the federal government was illegally forcing local officials to participate in an illegal immigration crackdown with the threat of losing funding or facing prosecution for noncompliance.
