A federal judge in California ruled that the Trump administration is not allowed to cut funding to Los Angeles and other places with "sanctuary" policies that limit cooperation on immigration enforcement.

A federal judge halted the Trump administration's efforts to withhold grant funding from "sanctuary cities" for not cooperating with immigration enforcement.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick in San Francisco extended a preliminary injunction blocking the administration from cutting off or conditioning the use of federal funds for so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions. His earlier order protected more than a dozen other cities and counties, including San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
