A federal judge on Monday issued what he calls a permanent blocking against President Donald Trump's executive order to withold funding from cities that defy immigration law.
U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick used the argument that the WH 'cannot set new conditions on spending approved by Congress'. Orrick's ruling came in lawsuits brought by two California counties, San Francisco and Santa Clara. Bizarrely, San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said the ruling was "a victory for the American people and the rule of law" -- an obvious absurdity becuse the gist of the ruling was that it supports cities acting in defiance of federal immigration law. The WH will appeal the ruling, as you might expect.
