Portland Secures Victory as California Judge Blocks Trump Administration’s Funding Cuts to Sanctuary Cities
PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland, a sanctuary city since 2017 that limits its cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts, especially those aimed at deporting immigrants, has won a reprieve from the Trump administration’s executive orders to withhold funding to sanctuary cities.
Portland joined other local governments in February to fight the sanctions and, on Thursday, a California judge issued a preliminary injunction citing portions of the executive orders as unconstitutional.
The ruling blocks the federal government from withdrawing funds from sanctuary cities.
Apart from an executive order withholding federal funding from sanctuary jurisdictions, another executive order directed all federal agencies not to make payments to state and local governments that ‘shield illegal aliens from deportation.’
Portland is a Santuary city and Oregon is a Santuary State which means that Soon the STATE OF OREGON WON’T BE ELGABLE FOR GOVERNMENT FUNDING. SO WHO IN HELL MADE OREGON S SANTUARY STATE. THAT IS ONE OF MANY OF THE STUPIDEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD. I WOULDN’T HAVE EVER THOUGHT SOMETHING SO STUPID FOR THIS STATE OF OREGON
It’s not a victory, it’s only a minor setback. It’s not over until the fat lady sings (Supreme Court). Portland should take this as a golden opportunity to get away from being a so called “sanctuary city” and get on with cleaning up this sh*t hole. what once was the beautiful “city of roses” is now a “city that DOESN’T work” sad, but true.
