Just now. LINK

quote:

A federal judge has ruled Attorney General Jeff Sessions cannot follow through with his threat to withhold public safety grant money to Chicago and other so-called sanctuary cities for refusing his order to impose tough immigration policies.

U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber on Friday granted Chicago’s request for a temporary “nationwide” injunction. That means the Justice Department can’t deny requests for the grant money until Chicago’s lawsuit against the agency is concluded. He wrote that Chicago has shown a “likelihood of success” in its arguments that Sessions overstepped his authority with the requirements.

Chicago refused to comply with the Justice Department’s demand that it allow immigration agents access to local jails and notify agents when someone in the United States illegally is about to be released from custody.

Judge shopping won't help that assgasket Rahm Emanuel. USSC will override this decision.

So this asshat thinks he can prevent the federal govt from enforcing the law?

Too bad scouts can't fire judges who make really stupid decisions

At this point the leftist judges are a clown show

This is why electing Trump was so important. Could you imagine Hillary with a rubber stamp judiciary? The civil war would be on right now, because they would have come for the guns already.

He is a Reagan appointment. I'd like to read the ruling before rushing to judgment.

Yeah

And a federal judge told Trump he couldn't have a travel ban

In fact, several of those idiots did



And, Its way past time for 10 year term limits on judicial appointments

A conservative President in Gerald Ford thought he was appointing a conservative in John Paul Stevens, turned out to be one of the most liberal justices ever.

SCOTUS overruled the bush appointee who stopped the travel ban.

Judges everywhere are different and are not loyal to the appointing party.

Good.

It appears to be the right call.

Let Congress address the law which allows this grants. Either cut funding or modify/define conditions for receiving grants.

Let the Legislative branch do its job and so on.
