On November 22, U.S. District Judge William ORick issued a temporary injunction on November 21, local time, blocking the Trump administration from imposing new conditions and cutting funding to the Department of Homeland Security in more than 20 cities and counties in California, Washington, and Arizona. The judge ruled that the Trump administrations attempts to force local governments to cooperate with immigration enforcement, terminate diversity programs, and restrict benefits for undocumented immigrants through executive orders may violate federal law.
