A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's rules requiring so-called sanctuary cities to help enforce federal immigration laws in order to receive funding.

U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced new rules governing DOJ law enforcement grants, The Chicago Tribune reports.

The city of Chicago sued the Trump administration last month over the DOJ’s threat to withhold those grants from "sanctuary cities," which are cities that refuse to help federal authorities enforce immigration laws.

Leinenweber said in his 41-page ruling that Chicago had shown a "likelihood of success" in its arguments that Sessions exceeded his authority in July when he announced that the DOJ would withhold public safety grants to sanctuary cities.

The judge, who was appointed by former President Ronald Reagan, explained that he halted the DOJ policy nationwide because there is "no reason to think that the legal issues present in this case are restricted to Chicago or that the statutory authority given to the Attorney General would differ in another jurisdiction."

Does this mean that back when the federal government was threatening to withhold highway funds from states that didn't raise their drinking age to 21, that courts could have blocked them doing it?

Appeal falls to the 7th Circuit. Wiki lists the judges and who appointed them. I count 8 active judges who were appointed by Repubs.

Not surprised. The SCOTUS previously said that the feds can't withhold funds because of a reason unrelated to the purpose of the funds.

Trump need to figure out a way to get 99% of what he wants with that limitation. He needs better quality lawyers writing up these EOs. He must have some flunky left over from Obama who knows how to write EOs that sound good to Trump but won't pass review.
