Overview

• U.S. District Judge William Orrick extended a preliminary injunction late Friday to protect more than 30 additional jurisdictions, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and Baltimore.
• The order bars the administration from denying or conditioning federal dollars because local policies limit cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
• Orrick also blocked immigration-related conditions on two specific grant programs, while his earlier protections for cities such as San Francisco, Sacramento, Minneapolis and Seattle remain in place.
• The administration has appealed Orrick’s initial injunction and, according to the judge, offered no new objection to the extension beyond disputing the first ruling.
• The effort to tie funding to immigration cooperation stems from Trump’s executive orders and a DHS list naming over 500 jurisdictions, as DOJ pursues separate suits against cities including New York and Los Angeles.
