Applaud Court’s Ruling Protecting Sanctuary Cities

In a major victory for immigrant rights and local democracy, a federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from cutting off federal funding to 34 sanctuary cities and counties — including Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, Denver, and Albuquerque.

Judge William Orrick reaffirmed what we know to be true: the federal government cannot strong-arm communities into abandoning their values or violating the Constitution. Trump’s attempt to punish cities that refuse to serve as extensions of his deportation machine was a blatant abuse of power.

This ruling ensures that vital funding for healthcare, education, housing, and public safety will not be held hostage to Trump’s cruel immigration agenda. Sanctuary cities protect trust between immigrant communities and local law enforcement — making everyone safer.

Add your name to applaud this critical ruling, defend sanctuary cities, and stand with communities fighting back against Trump’s unconstitutional overreach!
