#US District Judge Mary McElroy’s ruling Monday solidified a win for the coalition of 12 attorneys general that sued the admin after being alerted that their #states would receive drastically reduced federal grants due to “sanctuary” jurisdictions.
The cuts were unveiled after a separate federal judge in a different legal challenge ruled it was #unconstitutional for the #federal govt to require states to cooperate on #immigration enforcement actions to get #FEMA #disaster #funding.
