Associated Press: “A sharply worded ruling by a federal appeals court in Chicago on Thursday said the Trump administration policy of threatening to withhold grant money from so-called sanctuary cities to force them to comply with its more stringent immigration policies violates separation-of-powers provisions enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
“The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also said a freeze of that policy should extend nationwide, rejecting arguments by U.S. Department of Justice lawyers that if an injunction were OKed in the case it should only apply to the city of Chicago.”
This is a huge victory. Not only has Trump’s shakedown of sanctuary cities been stopped, but it also has been stopped all over America. It’s tempting to celebrate, and we should -- but we must also use this moment to show our support for the decision. After all, there is still the Supreme Court, and it’s not quite as liberal as Chicago’s.
Tell us now, while this ruling still stands:
