Federal judge allows Trump to withhold grants to California as part of sanctuary city crackdown
Washington Examiner, Mar 6, 2018, Melissa Quinn

A federal judge in Northern California has declined a request from California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to block the Trump administration’s decision to withhold a law enforcement grant to the state as part of its crackdown on states and jurisdictions that protect illegal immigrants.

Becerra asked for a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration's decision, but Judge William Orrick of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled against taking that step.  The injury threatened is not irreparable,” Orrick wrote. “The amount of money at stake is small compared to the state’s budget. Payment is delayed, for the moment. The DOJ appears to be using its regular administrative process to decide whether it will follow its initial inclinations.”

The judge said at some point in the future, the case “may help define the contours of the state’s broad constitutional police powers under the Tenth Amendment and the federal government’s ‘broad, undoubted power over the subject of immigration and the status of aliens.’”

The Trump administration has been cracking down on cities and jurisdictions that offer protections for people in the U.S. illegally.

Clearly, California is in rebellion against the Republic.  When does the invasion begin?

ESPN could make up a lot of that kneeling NFL revenue they lost by running those arrests Pay Per View.

In which direction?  Fortunately, they all have magazine restrictions and an assault weapons ban.

For decades HUD has given grants, with conditions. Called "CDBGs" for "Community Development Block Grants," they have tied federal money to meeting requirements for "low to moderate income" people in the community.

So communities were (and are) incentivized to meet certain types of agendas. Housing, single parents, and a variety of social agendas.

The same types of arrangements are used for edjucation, health care, energy, etc. Do what fedgov says=get money.

Failure to comply with the terms of the arrangements, jeopardizes the money, plain and simple. And that is one precedent for DOJ withholding funds.
