DAY 96: TRUMP LOSES: Court blocks his threat to sanctuary cities

This isn't the first thing that happened today, but it certainly is the biggest: A federal court blocked Donald Trump's threat to cut funding to sanctuary cities. Why? Because the court said Trump can't do that, as only Congress can do that.

According to The New York Times:

A judge in San Francisco on Tuesday temporarily blocked President Trump’s efforts to starve localities of federal funds when they limit their cooperation with immigration enforcement, a stinging rejection of his threats to make so-called sanctuary cities fall in line.

The judge, William H. Orrick of United States District Court, wrote that the president had overstepped his powers with his January executive order on immigration by tying billions of dollars in federal funding to immigration enforcement. Judge Orrick said only Congress could place such conditions on spending.

He’s done a fantastic job in a very difficult situation. We are very much behind Egypt and the people of Egypt. The United States has, believe me, backing, and we have strong backing.”

Really? Did Trump know about this?:
