California and San Francisco officials said on Aug. 14 that they are suing the Trump administration, “alleging federal threats to withhold funding from ‘sanctuary cities’ are unconstitutional and violate the rights of residents,” the Los Angeles Times reported.
This is the second time that the city of San Francisco has taken legal action against the Trump administration over the policy, notes the San Francisco Examiner in an Aug. 14 story.
The recent moves by California and San Francisco follow on the heels of similar action by the city of Chicago.
