Judge strikes law underpinning Sessions’ anti-sanctuary city push

Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Trump administration were handed another stark defeat in their effort to punish sanctuary cities, with a judge declaring a law the administration had been relying on unconstitutional. In a terse 58-page opinion, a Reagan-nominated district court judge thoroughly rebuked Sessions' efforts to penalize sanctuary cities, saying efforts he has taken to impose immigration-related conditions on federal law enforcement grants are unconstitutional. The judge also called the underlying law that the administration has pointed to as justifying its efforts unconstitutional.

Federal judge sides with Trump administration in travel ban case

But Virginia-based US District Judge Anthony Trenga was not persuaded that Trumps past statements automatically mean the revised executive order is unlawful, especially given the changes it made from the first version.This court is no longer faced with a facially discriminatory order coupled with contemporaneous statements suggesting discriminatory intent, Trenga explained. And while the President and his advisers have continued to make statements following the issuance of EO-1 (the first executive order) that have characterized or anticipated the nature of EO-2 (the revised ban) the court cannot conclude for the purposes of the motion that these statements, together with the Presidents past statements, have effectively disqualified him from exercising his lawful presidential authority.
