Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Withholding Grant Funding From Cities That Don't Cooperate With ICE
No way! You'll be shocked to hear that a district court judge has blocked the Trump administration from withholding transportation grant funding from sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. Why did we even elect a president? District judges can simply overrule the Executive Branch and its agenda that the people voted for.

Obama judge blocking common-sense immigration enforcement? Color me shocked. Maybe next ruling he’ll just Venmo the cartels directly.

Of course he did. This is not going to stop until the administration or, Heaven help us, the GOP-lead Congress actually does something.

RecommendedYou can't block someone from withholding something. That's not how things work.

Where does the Constitution say states have a right to these grants?
These judges are violating the Constitution as well as their judicial oaths. Absolutely disgusting.

Mass impeachments are needed!

Yes.

BREAKING: A federal judge just ruled that cities can openly defy federal immigration law—and still get a fat cheque from taxpayers. Because consequences are only for conservatives.
