Federal judge blocks Trump from withholding funds from 'sanctuary' cities

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : In the nearly three months since he took office, Trump has moved quickly and aggressively to coerce local law enforcement agencies to actively assist with his plans for mass deportations.
44% : The administration is restrained and enjoined "from directly or indirectly taking any action to withhold, freeze, or condition federal funds from the Cities and Counties," Orrick wrote, mandating that the Trump administration "provide written notice of this Order to all federal departments and agencies" by April 28.
44% : Their participation is considered critical due to the limited resources and staffing of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and some administration officials are reportedly frustrated that the pace of arrests and deportations has failed to meet the president's expectations.
28% : In siding with plaintiffs, Judge Orrick also agreed that "the threat to withhold funding causes them irreparable injury in the form of budgetary uncertainty, deprivation of constitutional rights, and undermining trust between the Cities and Counties and the communities they serve."
