The judge's opinion is well-founded on several points.
The fact is that Congress did not authorize the federal government to place strings on these grants. Trump cannot change the law without Congressional approval. He is not a King.
The fact is that state and local governments cannot be forced to enforce immigration law. They do not have to ask about someone's immigration status nor are they under any obligation to inform ICE. That is called states' rights that many conservatives claim to believe in.
Even a requirement that states and localities to certify they are in compliance with federal immigration law may not pass legal muster. There would have to be a specific legal definition as to what that entails rather than a broad undefined standard.
Conservatives did the same thing. When they challenged Obama's EO on immigration they got a Texas judge. That was no coincidence. When the ruling went against Obama he complied with the order.
If Sessions defies a court order then he should be held in contempt of court and jailed if necessary.
Why are liberals wanting to protect criminals? It just boggles the mind
