Judge says Trump can’t punish cities over sanctuary city policies; Oh? What about secession?

President Trump can’t coerce sanctuary cities like San Francisco to cooperate with immigration officers by threatening to withdraw crucial funding, a federal judge said Tuesday in a ruling that bars enforcement of Trump’s order nationwide.

In the first legal test of an executive order Trump issued five days after taking office, U.S. District Judge William Orrick III of San Francisco said the president was exceeding his constitutional authority by trying to punish local governments that refuse to cooperate with his immigration policies.

Ruling on a lawsuit by San Francisco and Santa Clara County, Orrick issued a preliminary injunction that prohibits the administration from enforcing Trump’s Jan. 25 order by cutting off funding to defiant cities and counties. His ruling will remain in effect unless it is overturned by a higher court.

“Given the nationwide scope of the order, and its apparent constitutional flaws, a nationwide injunction is appropriate,” Orrick said.
