A San Francisco judge barred enforcement of President Donald Trumps executive order withholding funds from so-called sanctuary cities that fail to comply with federal immigration demands by shielding undocumented immigrants.

San Francisco and its Silicon Valley neighbor, Santa Clara County, on Tuesday both won preliminary injunctions blocking the Jan. 25 edict by Trump who declared that sanctuary jurisdictions cause immeasurable harm to the American people and to the very fabric of our republic." The city and county argued the presidents order violated the Constitution and threatened to deprive them of funding for local programs.

The federal government may ask the U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco to overturn the ruling.

A victory for the city and county could reinforce similar policies in some of the nations largest cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Its another blow to Trumps call to tighten U.S. borders and crack down on those living in the U.S. illegally. Hes already lost multiple bids to impose a travel ban against citizens of six mostly Muslim countries.

AG Sessions said, "Imagine! A federal judge in a state bordered by the Pacific Ocean had the nerve to block the President's order"

1. Class! Class!

Do we know why this happened?

Do we know why this would NOT happen if more republicans are elected?

2. Kick Rec!

3. K&R

This is good news!

4. From Judge Orrick, an Obama appointee:

If there was doubt about the scope of the Order, the President and Attorney General have erased it with their public comments ... The Constitution vests the spending power in Congress, not the President, so the Order cannot constitutionally place new conditions on federal funds.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. And the idiotic thing here is

that Beauregard should know better. But he doesn't care.

It's like they are probing and testing the Constitution for "weaknesses". I suppose that is what they do when it comes to their money laundering and tax evasion.

[ancianita]

38. Right. He and his don't care for interpretations that do the greatest good for the greatest number.

Their idea is that competing self interests are what the Constitution sets political game plan rules for, rather than being what it actually says, a blueprint for expanding indefinitely and for all, "life, liberty and ..." "All" means whoever is here. Now. No exclusions.

[BumRushDaShow]

39. Sessions was a Senator for 20 years

He should know what the separation of powers feature is.

[ancianita]

41. His personal philosophical flaws refuse to trust the founders' structures.

He is the embodiment of what hippies meant when they said the personal is political.

[BumRushDaShow]

42. There was a reason Coretta Scott King wrote her letter

to the Senate Judiciary Committee over 30 years ago warning about him (the same one that Elizabeth Warren attempted to read and was silenced by the turtle).

[ancianita]

43. We need to articulate those reasons and never allow him to rest on false validations.

When people are in the power zone and unconscious, they need constant confrontation.

[BumRushDaShow]

44. Exactly.

[red dog 1]

5. K&R

This is good news!

[BumRushDaShow]

6. K&R

Good.

Philly is a Sanctuary City and believes this whole DOJ threat thing is complete bullshit.

[Hortensis]

7. And "This month, the state Senate passed the California Values Act,

a measure that would give the entire state sanctuary status by prohibiting its agencies from sharing certain information with U.S. counterparts or detaining individuals on orders from Washington."

I'll cross my fingers for both, but, thank you, California. I'll always be a Californian at heart.

[aggiesal]

9. Must be nice to be a dictator, who's commands ...

keep getting overturned.

Watch Cheetolini complain about this one in 5, 4, 3, ...

[progree]

10. Oh, it's just some judge sitting at the end of some skinny little peninsula in the Pacific Ocean

11. SCOTUS decided this years ago.

The Feds can only withhold funds if they have detailed restrictions to getting the funds in the first place before any funds are distributed, i.e.: as a condition for receiving the funds.

[fantase56]

12. Egad!!! All this winning.......his base must be so proud

[Fritz Walter]

26. Tired of the first 100 days yet?

Drumpf's list of accomplishments could fit onto the back of a postage stamp.

And I can't wait to spit on it!

[Alice11111]

32. They probably don't even know...since they don't watch or read

News...just Fox and Info Wars. His core base still is almost at full support. If they stick together....
We have seen that the facts are not really too important when it comes to voting.

20. The lesson is: PRESIDENT is not the same as KING

This is a teachable moment. I hope Trump is learning.

[NastyRiffraff]

21. Is Dump tired of winning yet?

No wonder he has a sad about Federal Judges. They keep ruling against him.

[suffragette]

22. They hate that western rulings have to be appealed

to the Ninth since it is very likely to uphold them.

Glad to see this!

[benld74]

23. GOP twitter exploding against this ruling

Liberal judges need to be removed. We didn't vote them into office.
How can judge overrule POTUS? Scandalous!

Laughable comments
Scary to read st times
NO knowledge of how govt works.

They are the MAGA followers

[Alice11111]

Trump's Sanctuary Cities Order Blocked by a So-Called Federal Judge

[BumRushDaShow]

40. Well San Francisco is on a peninsula

(sticking) out in the same Pacific Ocean as the foreign country of Hawai'i!!!111!!!

[Snake Plissken]

28. A competent businessman would have ...

A competent businessman would have got together with Congress and negotiated a deal to enacted Constitutional legislation instead of slapping together another blatantly unconstitutional executive order, but the good news is Trump is about as far from a competent businessman as you can get.

He'll never be anything more than a reality TV game show host. The training wheels are never coming off.

He simply lacks the intellect to do anything beyond tweeting, golfing, or whining about cable news, which is an absolute blessing considering how Democrats screwed up enough to lose both branches of Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court.

Luckily for us as a nation the most dangerous man to ever step foot in the White House is also the most incompetent one too, and he's too emotionally fragile and insecure to hire anyone who will show him up

As long as he continues to focus on conning his supporters into believing he's getting things done, instead of trying to actually get things done, the damage can be minimized.

[Alice11111]

34. Well, at least I laughed, as there is much truth in what you said,

but I fear these ignoramuses are doing much damage to our education system, planet, parks, justice system....

[MineralMan]

29. Denied!

[Eugene]
