1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: We have a legal decision on sanctuary cities, and it's

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: a good one. The three judge panels Second Circuit Court

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: of Appeals unanimously overturned a district court judge who ruled

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: the Trump administration could not withhold grants from sanctuary cities.

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: That was part of the anti Trump resistance movement among

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: the judiciary. In seventeen, then Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: that the Department of Justice was going to withhold grant

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: money from states who defied federal immigration law by granting

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: sanctuary illegals. Well, it didn't take long for the resistance

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: to act. Seven states New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Virginia,

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Washington State ran the federal

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: court and sued, and, as so often happens, coincidentally, the

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: resistant states found a friendly resistance district judge to go

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: along with them. Trump administration appealed. So now finally we've

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: gotten a common sense ruling from the appellate court. They

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: ruled that, of course, the federal government can withhold grant

17
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: money from states who break federal laws. A no brainer. Now,

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 1: this will probably end up at the Supreme Court because

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: Liberals never give up the fight, no matter how ridiculous

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: or absurd it may be. But at least for now

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: you can file this under We're not tired of winning

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: and victory is so sweet.
