BREAKING!! Federal judge BLOCKS Trump defunding of ‘sanctuary cities!’

A judge has blocked Trump’s order to defund sanctuary cities. In a really weird way.

From Bloomberg:

A San Francisco judge barred enforcement of President Donald Trump’s 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 sanctuary jurisdictions cause “immeasurable harm to the American people and to the very fabric of our republic.” The city and county argued the president’s order violated the Constitution and threatened to deprive them of funding for local programs.

Jeff Sessions is gonna say, “I can’t believe some gay city in California is allowed to shut down Trump!” or some such.

The ruling sounds kinda odd:

It’s like, sanctuary cities can do their thing, and the Trump admin can still cut funding, just don’t do it unconstitutionally. What?

Clearly they didn’t think it was unconstitutional in the first place, so why leave it up to them to not impose the order in an unconstitutional way? Weird…

I have a feeling el Trumpo won’t like this either… ban federal judges!!
