Hennepin county might strike back, but its sad they have already claimed the county is withholding info already.

Is bad hombres a way of saying developers and am-holes driving up real estate costs?

Seattle is a failing city with record crime rates and unemployment blah blah blah sad.

There's your incoming tweet.

I'm sure his tweet will be to fix the homeless problem or something to that effect kinda like the one for Chicago to fix their crime

The Feds threatening to withhold funding for states or municipalities taking a certain action has arguments in both quarters. The national speed limit and drinking age was tied to highway funding and passed muster, the Medicaid expansion was tied to Medicaid funding and failed. So this could go either way.

 

[LegendofLex]

To be fair, though I'm not sure if they're predicating their first argument exclusively on coercing police departments or "action" by local governmental entities in general, but is this not the way that the Obama administration basically tried to force schools to protect the rights of transgender students?

You can do it with anti-discrimination regulation in schools because Title IX is legislation that prohibits any organization receiving federal funding from discriminating on the basis of sex.

You can't do it with sanctuary city funding because there's no legislation that allows the administration to prohibit these cities from receiving federal funding because of their policies about undocumented immigrants, and it's incredibly likely that such legislation would be unconstitutional.

Trump's argument is "we have immigration laws so you should cooperate with us or we'll cut your funding, even though you're already cooperating with us to the extent that's actually required by law."

Good for Seattle. I hope they succeed and that other sanctuary cities follow suit.

 

[manzoman96]

Philly will probably join in too.

 

[Matrix XII]

Seattle is a great city.

Hope they win this!

Damn PNW. You guys are so lucky.

As a lawyer for the city of Philadelphia, I'll let y'all know if I hear anything certain (I likely won't though because we have outside counsel doing our sanctuary city stuff pro bono).

Damn it feels good to live in Western Washington.
