The judge, William H. Orrick of United States District Court, wrote that the president had overstepped his powers with his January executive order on immigration by tying billions of dollars in federal funding to immigration enforcement. Judge Orrick said only Congress could place such conditions on spending.

How will Trump and Sessions insult Judge Orrick?

The New York Times says more local law enforcement jurisdictions are backing down to Trump's wishes. I don't see it. When Trump invaded the Oval Office, there were only 37 law enforcement agencies in the country (among every local law enforcement agency in every town and city in America) who had an existing 287(g)agreement. Right now there are 38, according to ICE. Three agreements were signed after 1/20/17 (Two in North Carolina and one in Texas.)(Scroll down to "287(g) Results and Participating Entities" you can read each agreement and see the signatories at the same page.)

Personally, I think law enforcement has enough money and there are too many grants. I'd rather see the funds go to rehabilitative needs of inmates and to the residents of local communities. But that's not an option under a Trump/Sessions regime, and I do care about their attempt to blackmail and extort local law enforcement, which, in my personal opinion, is what their threat amounts to.
