Attitude toward illegal immigrants will not affect the economy of administrative-territorial units. On Monday, the Federal court in San Francisco blocked the decree of Donald trump on the reduction of funding for cities of refuge.

District judge William Orrick found the disposal of the presidential administration unconstitutional, ruling that Donald trump has no right to change the terms for expenses approved by the Congress. The decision was made in the context of consideration of the lawsuits filed by the counties of San Francisco and Santa Clara.

We will remind that earlier the government had announced the termination of the allocation of Federal grants to cities and counties who refuse to cooperate with immigration police actually protecting illegal immigrants from the consequences of a strict policy of trump.

Under the Executive order were new York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Seattle, Detroit, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Denver, Dallas, Austin, Houston, salt lake city, San Diego and many smaller cities.

In April, Orrick temporarily suspended the decree, but the President’s administration appealed the decision to the 9th circuit court of appeals.

In early October the Ministry of justice made a final warning to the offenders, putting them on notice that they will lose their funding in the event of non-compliance with Federal immigration policy.
