Judge says Trump's language degraded 'sanctuary city' order
Responding
to the blocking of Mr Trump's recent sanctuary city executive order, the US
Justice Department said in a statement it would follow existing federal law with
respect to sanctuary jurisdictions, as well as enforce conditions tied to
federal grantsFrom ending terrorism to unlocking the mysteries of space, here
are some of the promises Donald Trump made in his inaugural address.Supporters
of the sanctuary policy argue enlisting police cooperation in rounding up
immigrants for removal undermines communities' trust in local police,
particularly among Latinos.The Trump administration contends that local
authorities endanger public safety when they decline to hand over for
deportation illegal immigrants arrested for crimes.The executive order by Mr Trump,
who made cracking down on illegal immigration a cornerstone of his 2016
presidential campaign, directed such funding to be restricted once the Homeland
Security Department determines what constitutes a sanctuary city.In his ruling,
Judge Orrick said the language of the order made it clear it sought to withhold
funds beyond law enforcement.
