Funding: San Francisco and Justice Department

funding: Here is a look at Tuesday's ruling and what lies ahead WHAT DID THE FEDERAL JUDGE SAY ABOUT THE SANCTUARY CITIES ORDER U.S. District Judge William Orrick in San Francisco said the president has no authority to attach new conditions of his own to spending that was approved by Congress, according to Brandon Sun. The judge further ruled that Trump's order threatened a wide swath of funding not the relatively small amount the Justice Department claimed and that the government cannot cut off funding if there is no clear connection between the money and the policy at issue. It was the third Trump executive order on immigration to be thwarted by the federal courts. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said late Wednesday the president was well within his power to issue the executive order and the DOJ would continue to fight the cases in court. But that was the court that blocked the president's first travel ban against seven Muslim countries. It was not clear, however, whether he planned to appeal Orrick's ruling.WHAT COULD TRUMP DO NEXT Trump could appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
