9th Circuit: DOJ Can Withhold Money From Sanctuary Cities |
2019-07-17 |
[LI] The Trump administration’s decision to crack down on sanctuary policies by withholding funding resulted in Los Angeles being denied a $3 million grant, a move that prompted the city to sue the DOJ. On Friday, the Trump administration scored a huge win when the 9th Circuit overturned a nationwide injunction barring the DOJ from prioritizing taxpayer monies to cities and states that cooperate with federal immigration officials. The three-judge panel, in a 2-1 vote, found that the Trump administration has the right to deny sanctuary cities and states Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grants. The Hill reports: The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s efforts to prioritize federal dollars for local policing to towns and cities that complied with certain immigration policies. You can read the ruling here. According to the LA Times, LA City Attorney Mike "Feuer said the city would explore all options, including an appeal to a larger panel of the 9th Circuit." |

#2 Ouch. The regressive left must be in a full panic. |

#1 Progress, but the 9th Circus as a whole is still overwhelmingly progressive/activist. This won't make it past an appeal to the entire court. |
