Federal judge ruled to block executive order of President Trump


(MENAFN)] President Trump's executive order in halting some particular federal funds for alleged sanctuary cities has been ruled to be blocked by a federal court on Monday, describing it as "unconstitutional on its face."

U.S. District Judge William Orrick ruled "the defendants are permanently enjoined from enforcing Section 9(a) of the Executive Order against jurisdictions they deem as sanctuary jurisdictions. Because Section 9(a) is unconstitutional on its face, and not simply in its application to the plaintiffs here, a nationwide injunction against the defendants other than President Trump is appropriate."

The injunction occurred after Orrick, in late April, temporarily ruled to block Trump's order in withholding few federal funding from cities that decline to completely comply with immigration enforcement.
