00:00Judge accuses Trump admin of bullying states in sharply worded ruling.
00:05President Donald Trump's administration had been accused of violating a court order
00:10by using disaster relief funding to pressure states into aiding federal immigration enforcement.
00:16U.S. District Judge William E. Smith ruled Trump's administration
00:20has done precisely what the memorandum and order forbids,
00:23Conditioning Department of Homeland Security and FEMA grants on states' cooperation with immigration
00:30enforcement. The fig leaf conditional nature of the requirement makes little difference,
00:35the federal judge added. No matter how confident defendants may be of their chances on appeal,
00:41at present the contested conditions are unlawful. Smith said that the administration's new condition
00:47is not a good faith effort to comply with the order. It is a ham-handed attempt to bully the
00:52states into making promises they have no obligation to make at the risk of losing
00:56critical disaster and other funding already appropriated by Congress. Smith's ruling comes
01:02shortly after his previous decision that struck down the same policy as arbitrary and capricious
01:08and unconstitutional. That ruling prohibited FEMA from withholding billions in emergency management
01:14funds from sanctuary states. Twenty states filed the lawsuit, arguing that the Trump administration's
01:20demands put funding for critical disaster response cybersecurity and public safety programs at risk.
