Breaking news from Newsmax
Attorney General Jeff Sessions can't follow
through — at least for now — with his threat to withhold public safety grant
money to Chicago and other so-called sanctuary cities for refusing to impose
new tough immigration policies, a judge ruled Friday in a legal defeat for
the Trump administration.
In what is at least a temporary victory for
cities that have defied Sessions, U.S. District Judge Harry D. Leinenweber
ruled that the Justice Department could not impose the requirements.
He said the city had shown a
"likelihood of success" in arguing that Sessions exceeded his
authority with the new conditions. Among them are requirements that cities
notify immigration agents when someone in the country illegally is about to
be released.
