Obama Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Withholding Funds From More Than 30 ‘Sanctuary Cities’

[Kilroy2]

The little judges are ignoring the supreme court

I ask sgain

If the little courts do not obey the superior courts why should we obey them?

What goes around comes around

Because they can hold someone in contempt
and put someone in jail

 

[Mac-7]

Because they can hold someone in contempt
and put someone in jail

No they cant

They may issue a contempt

But the little lower court judges have no military troops under their command

Judge blocks Trump from cutting money to Chicago, LA and other cities over 'sanctuary' policies

A judge has ruled the Trump administration cannot deny funding to Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles and 30 other cities and counties because of policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration efforts.

A judge ruled late Friday the Trump administration cannot deny funding to Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles and 30 other cities and counties because of policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration efforts.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick in San Francisco extended a preliminary injunction blocking the administration from cutting off or conditioning the use of federal funds for so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions. His earlier order protected more than a dozen other cities and counties, including San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.

An email to the White House late Friday was not immediately returned. In his ruling, Orrick said the administration had offered no opposition to an extended injunction except to say the first injunction was wrong. It has appealed the first order.

Orrick also blocked the administration from imposing immigration-related conditions on two particular grant programs.
There is no strict definition for sanctuary cities, but the terms generally describe places that limit cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE enforces immigration laws nationwide but seeks help from state and local authorities to identify immigrants wanted for deportation and hold them for federal officers.

This judge is completely full of shit.

(Surprised?)

SCOTUS has already ruled that it's legal for the feds to withhold funds from states that don't comply with federal transportation and traffic policy.

Immigration policy is no different.

Another dumbass ignorant leftard judge. Impeach the dumbass bastard. He doesn't know the law, he has no business being a judge.

What goes around comes around

If they don’t comply with Judicial rulings from SCOTUS, they are primed and ready to be impeached. In the meanwhile, their ruling are getting shot down and the Administration can the proceed accordingly.

A federal judge out of San Francisco on Friday blocked President Trump from pulling federal funds from ‘sanctuary cities.’

US District Judge William Orrick, and Obama appointee, blocked Trump from withholding funds from Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles and more than 30 other sanctuary cities.
The Associated Press reported
~Snip~
Earlier this year Judge Orrick issued a preliminary injunction blocking Trump from withholding funding to other sanctuary cities like Portland and San Francisco.
President Trump issued a flurry of executive orders – in his first term – and now in his second term – to withhold funds from jurisdictions harboring illegal aliens.
Santa Clara, San Francisco and 14 other cities and counties sued the Trump Administration. They moved for a preliminary injunction blocking President Trump’s executive orders.
“Here we go again,” Judge Orrick wrote in his 6-page order blasting Trump for his second round of executive orders aimed at ending the subsidization of open borders.
In 2017, Judge Orrick permanently blocked a similar executive order from Trump’s effort to defund sanctuary cities.
The judge said withholding funds from sanctuary jurisdictions is unconstitutional. He said it violates the Fifth and Tenth Amendments and also violates due process.
“Precedent in the Ninth Circuit and the orders of this court show why the Cities and Counties have established that they are likely to prevail on the merits of at least their separation of powers, Spending Clause, and Fifth and Tenth Amendment claims. 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, as explained by the Ninth Circuit in the earlier iteration of this case in 2018; they also violate the Fifth Amendment to the extent they are unconstitutionally vague and violate due process,” the judge wrote in his order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

Commentary:
Indeed! "Here we go again". Every week a black robed tyrant either appointed by Obama or Biden issues an order blocking Trump's agenda.
Once more an appointed Judge attempts to usurp the presidency.
Is anyone keeping count on the Democrat sponsored/appointed judges that are legislating and interfering with national policy from the bench?
US District Judge William Orrick, doesn't have jurisdiction over all those cities. Thus, that "judge" has willfully violated an order by the Supreme Court! Guess he didn’t get the memo on no more nation-wide injunctions. Or, more likely, he did get it and just ignored it.
Boasberg, Orrick and their kind think they run America from the bench, but they eventually do get slapped down by the Appeals Court that correctly interprets the law.
These are Federal Funds that are controlled not by the states or the cities. If they are not utilized properly by the municipalities, the funding can be denied.
As an example, the federal gov't. got all the states to comply with adopting new laws on quite a few issues in the past, namely raising the drinking age to 21 among other things. Told states to comply or lose funding. The states all fell in line.
So why is this different, especially when the POTUS is in charge of immigration?
When some states tried to enforce their own immigration laws during our last two communist presidents, they were shut down by being told only the executive branch can set immigration rules.

This will be reversed quickly. Once the SC ruled AZ couldn’t enforce immigration that means the states can’t deny that participation either.

The rogue judges are incompetent, and the proof is they are being overturned

 

[Blaster]

Because they can hold someone in contempt
and put someone in jail

Trump controls the DOJ so the judges would be powerless.

They have selective memory big time. They claim Trump will ignore the lower courts when they cheered the veggie for ignoring the Supreme Court.

It's why the left loons on here are easy fodder, stupid as stumps

Impeaching is legal

Ignoring is not

If the Supreme has already ruled they are overstepping their authority it is

Good luck with that

The unelected black robes on Mt Olympus do not allow anyone to discipline the lower courts except themselves

I suspect they would still ping you for contempt

District courts need to stay in their own lane.
