In her 48-page ruling, McElroy found that the #federal government was weighing #states’ police on federal #immigration enforcement on whether to reduce federal #funding for the #HomelandSecurity Grant Program & others.

“What else could defendants’ decisions to cut funding to specific counterterrorism programming by conspicuous round numbered amounts — including by slashing off the millions-place digits of awarded sums — be if not arbitrary & capricious?” McElroy wrote.
