"A federal court ruled in favor of the Trump administration on Wednesday to withhold federal grants to states who vowed not to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan's decision overturned a previous decision by a lower court which has forced the Trump administration to release the federal grants to New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Washington, Massachusetts, Virginia and Rhode Island, as well as New York City.

The lower court had decided that 8 U.S.C. § 1373 was unconstitutional. That specific law requires communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement or government agencies and ICE regarding citizenship or immigration information on all individuals in the U.S.

However, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the law "does not violate the anticommandeering principle of the Tenth Amendment as applied here to a federal funding requirement."

New York City and the seven states had sued the U.S. Department of Justice in 2017 after the department decided in 2017 that it would be withholding the grant money from states and localities refusing to provide ICE notice regarding illegal immigrants' impending release from jails, as well as access to those jails.

The court determined that the Department of Homeland Security's responsibilities of controlling illegal immigration were impeded by the states' lack of compliance with U.S. immigration law."

Well, it's a start. Now if local officials disregard Federal Law they will be held accountable. Trump wins again!

I can't imagine this ruling not being appealed.

Golly gosh. This topic looks familiar, except this is 2nd Appeals, along with the 9th.

This was the appeal, in the Federal Appeals Court. They reversed the lower courts ridiculously wrong decision. The only appeal left is to the U.S. Supreme Court, where if it ever even got heard, would surely be upheld by the conservative-leaning majority. In the meantime, the Trump Administration will be withholding funds from sanctuary cities and states. Perhaps some of these places will reconsider their dangerous and proven-deadly policies that protect criminal aliens from the Feds.

"This was the appeal." But not THE LAST appeal available. I'm just pointing that out. It'll be appealed one more step up.

I have no preference for which way it'll go (though I think the people who push sanctuary cities are hypocrites because of their NIMBY, and I'm against illegal immigration in general). And I make no prediction for how it'll turn out. I just think your celebration is premature. That's all.
