Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions are probably tossing their shoes at the ceiling right now, for the president has received his latest serving of immigration-related comeuppance (while his revised travel ban is still blocked indefinitely by a Hawaii judge). Both Trump and his attorney general have been on a quest to crack down on Sanctuary Cities, in which local law enforcement provide a safe haven for undocumented immigrants from deportation. Sessions recently echoed Trump’s vision by threatening to remove Justice Department grants from these cities if they don’t voluntarily abandon their status.

In the applicable case (which is being celebrated by the ACLU), a federal judge in California has blocked the part of Trump’s order that calls for withholding funds for cities that don’t cooperate. As such, both San Francisco and Santa Clara County have received preliminary injunctions against the order. The ruling’s conclusion declares that the Trump administration’s blockage of funds works “immeasurable harm to the American people and to the very fabric of our republic.”

U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick also barred Trump from further aiming to enforce his order on other sanctuary cities, and he ruled that Trump’s directive extended much further than federal law would permit.
