Several jurisdictions, including San Francisco, Santa Clara, King County, Portland, and New Haven, have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging unlawful targeting of sanctuary cities. The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of California, challenges President Trump's executive order withholding federal funds from jurisdictions that do not comply with his immigration agenda.
The plaintiffs argue that the administration's actions violate the 10th Amendment, separation of powers, spending clause, due process clause, and the Administrative Procedures Act. They seek to prevent the enforcement of these actions and declare them unlawful.
