President Donald Trump has a message for the federal judge who blocked his executive orders tailored to keep some so-called “sanctuary” cities from receiving federal funds: “See you in the Supreme Court!”
Trump took to Twitter before 7 a.m. Wednesday morning to blast a federal judge in California who on Tuesday issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against provisions in an executive order signed by Trump that is meant to block federal funding for “sanctuary” jurisdictions that decline to assist federal authorities in enforcing immigration laws.
Trump’s order, signed Jan. 25, directed the Justice and Homeland Security departments to “ensure that jurisdictions that willfully refuse to comply” with a law mandating communication between local law enforcement officials and federal immigration agents are deemed ineligible for federal grants.
