Speaker 1: We have a legal decision on sanctuary cities, and it's
Speaker 1: a good one. The three judge panels Second Circuit Court
Speaker 1: of Appeals unanimously overturned a district court judge who ruled
Speaker 1: the Trump administration could not withhold grants from sanctuary cities.
Speaker 1: That was part of the anti Trump resistance movement among
Speaker 1: the judiciary. In seventeen, then Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced
Speaker 1: that the Department of Justice was going to withhold grant
Speaker 1: money from states who defied federal immigration law by granting
Speaker 1: sanctuary illegals. Well, it didn't take long for the resistance
Speaker 1: to act. Seven states New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Virginia,
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Washington State ran the federal
Speaker 1: court and sued, and, as so often happens, coincidentally, the
Speaker 1: resistant states found a friendly resistance district judge to go
Speaker 1: along with them. Trump administration appealed. So now finally we've
Speaker 1: gotten a common sense ruling from the appellate court. They
Speaker 1: ruled that, of course, the federal government can withhold grant
Speaker 1: money from states who break federal laws. A no brainer. Now,
Speaker 1: this will probably end up at the Supreme Court because
Speaker 1: Liberals never give up the fight, no matter how ridiculous
Speaker 1: or absurd it may be. But at least for now
Speaker 1: you can file this under We're not tired of winning
Speaker 1: and victory is so sweet.
