A federal judge in California issued an injunction Thursday blocking President Donald Trump's efforts to halt federal funds from going to several cities and counties considered sanctuary jurisdictions.

“The challenged sections in the 2025 Executive Orders and the Bondi Directive that order executive agencies to withhold, freeze, or condition federal funding apportioned to localities by Congress, violate the Constitution’s separation of powers principles and the Spending Clause,” U.S. District Judge William Orrick said in his ruling.

“They also violate the Fifth Amendment to the extent they are unconstitutionally vague and violate due process,” while Trump's orders "violate the Tenth Amendment because they impose coercive condition intended to commandeer local officials into enforcing federal immigration practices and law."

The White House and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

3. There's no such thing as a 'sanctuary' city.

State and local jurisdictions cannot be compelled to enforce Federal law – including immigration law.

It is perfectly lawful and Constitutional for local jurisdictions to elect to not use limited resources to detain undocumented immigrants.
