Overview

• U.S. District Judge William Orrick extended his April injunction to cover more than 30 additional jurisdictions that restrict cooperation with ICE.
• The order shields major cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, Denver and Albuquerque from funding cuts tied to their policies.
• Orrick also barred the administration from attaching immigration-related conditions to two federal grant programs.
• The ruling targets executive orders directing federal agencies to deny funds to sanctuary jurisdictions, which the judge called an unconstitutional coercive threat.
• The administration has appealed earlier rulings and continues separate lawsuits against cities such as Los Angeles and New York, following a DHS list of 500-plus jurisdictions that was later removed.
