00:00Breaking news coming in. Within the past hour, a U.S. federal judge has ruled that the Trump
00:05administration cannot cut off federal funding to dozens of cities and counties because of their
00:10sanctuary policies. The decision came late Friday in San Francisco, where Judge William
00:16Oreck extended an injunction protecting over 30 cities, including Boston, Chicago, Denver,
00:21and Los Angeles. His ruling blocks the White House from forcing local governments to cooperate
00:26with federal immigration crackdowns. The Trump administration has been trying to withhold
00:31billions of dollars from sanctuary communities as part of its aggressive immigration agenda,
00:36but the judge called the orders an unconstitutional coercive threat.
00:41This ruling adds to a long legal battle between U.S. cities and the federal government over
00:46immigration enforcement. The Justice Department has already sued New York, Los Angeles, and others
00:52over similar policies. For now, sanctuary cities remain protected, but the fight is far from over.
