WT:
A federal judge issued a ruling Friday that blocks the Justice Department from requiring cities to cooperate with federal immigration authorities in order to be considered eligible for federal law enforcement grants.
The ruling blocks nationwide enforcement of two of the three new conditions the Justice Department sought to impose on jurisdictions seeking funds through the Byrne Justice Assistance Grant, which doles out nearly $400 million to state and local agencies each year.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced new stipulations in July as a means to ensure that local jurisdictions were cooperating with federal immigration agents and not working to shield illegal immigrants from deportation.
OK, fine, some judge says grant funds can’t be blocked by the justice department.
Since sanctuary policies violate Federal law, the officials (mayors, police chiefs, etc.) should be arrested, perp-walked, jailed, charged, tried and convicted. Simple! The cities keep their grant money, which they can then use to hold special elections to replace their mayors, police chiefs, etc. (Try to do a better job next time.)

I like your idea. Every Democrat Libtard in California politician would be arrested. We’d finally get our state back.
It’s been my understanding that Congress sets the jurisdiction of the courts. Now if we only had a sensible congress with some cojones…….
Well that’s odd. Brain dead ass hole activist judges didn’t have any problems when the gay Kenyan commie threatened to withhold funds from Arizona because of Sheriff Joe. Hmmm….
Remember obama’s creed. … JUST US
Damn right, judgeroybean. And I don’t recall a fed judge ever telling the IRS it couldn’t target and harass conservative groups, either.
PDT, tell the mortuary cities that they have a few more regulations to comply with and a few more diversity forms to complete before the checks can be cut.
THE LAW OF THE LAND
When a democrat is in office, immigration laws don’t matter. When a Republican is in office, states can do whatever they want.
Ha ha ha.
Just tell ’em the check’s in the mail.
One senile old 80 year old judge gets to dictate national immigration policy? How about you go fuck off? How big is your army, dude in a black dress? We don’t care what you think. Really. It’s none of your business.
If the left thinks they can stack the courts and override the will of the people they are mistaken.
Ignore this idiot. He’s just a dude in a black dress appointed for life.
In the immortal words of Andy Jackson: “The judge made his ruling, now let him enforce it.”
Another bullshit ruling that will be overturned by the SCOTUS. Just watch.
Hold every check until the last possible date.
@TheMule — Yes, that’s what will happen. Just like the travel ban.
Apparently the guy was appointed by President Reagan; his opinion was that you can’t change the conditions of the grants once they have been made available; the ruling was based on his belief that it was highly likely a court would have overturned the DOJ policy, therefore injunction granted pending adjudication.
Just say that the criteria for grants have changed, and traitorous filth are no longer eligible for American tax dollars. No need to mention sanctuary status.
ignore the sob. Just try to force the DOJ to fund your illegal policies. The pols that made the decisions to cherry pick what laws they want to enforce should be arrested and charged with dereliction of duty for one and/or treason for failing to enforce the legal laws of the land.
