  • A second federal judge on Friday ordered a temporary pause in Trump administration efforts to freeze federal funding in the latest twist over the spending of trillions of dollars in grants and loans.

A second federal judge has issued a temporary injunction against the Trump administration's attempt to withhold funding from sanctuary cities, which are local jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts. This ruling, from a judge in Philadelphia, follows a similar decision by a judge in San Francisco, both of which block the administration's policy of denying federal grants to these cities. The lawsuits argue that the administration's actions are unconstitutional and exceed its authority. The decisions are seen as victories for sanctuary cities, with implications for how federal funds can be used to influence local immigration policies. The cases are part of a broader legal battle over immigration enforcement and the rights of cities to set their own policies regarding cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
