Court rules for California over Trump in sanctuary city case

(Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Friday blocked the Trump Administration from placing conditions on public safety grants to further its crackdown on illegal immigration, and he ordered the grant money to be released to California “sanctuary cities.”

However, while Judge William Orrick in San Francisco found that the conditions placed last year on public safety grants by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions were unconstitutional, he stayed a nationwide injunction pending appeal.

The U.S. Department of Justice declined to comment.

The grant conditions required recipients to provide Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents access to jails and prisons, provide notice when detainees were being released and certify that information was being shared with federal authorities.

1. Good.

Philly had it's case successfully ruled on this past June. Haven't heard anything since regarding appeals.

2. Gee, I wonder what will happen

when that reaches the US Supreme court in the coming months.

3. We know how this ends, don't we? Kavanaugh will help decide this case.

This is the way it will be for the rest of my life. Geez, that's depressing.

4. Yes, the Court will eventually rule on favor of Trump.

But when a Democrat is in the WH the issue will become moot because his/her DOJ will allow states and local jurisdictions to not use their resources to enforce Federal immigration law.

Best case is Democrats gain control of Congress and the WH and pass immigration reform legislation.
