Federal Judge Halt Trump Plan to Cut Funds for Sanctuary States Resisting Cooperation

A federal judge in Rhode Island has issued a preliminary injunction halting President Donald Trump's plan to cut funding for sanctuary states that refuse to cooperate with immigration authorities by denying federal transportation funds to these states. The ruling blocks the administration's attempt to withhold funding from states such as California and New York, which have implemented policies protecting undocumented immigrants. The decision comes after advocacy groups challenged the policy in court, arguing it was unconstitutional. The injunction is effective until a final hearing on the issue can be held.
