The City of San Francisco is leading a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its crackdown on sanctuary cities and states and its threat to cut off federal funding.

San Francisco's city attorney announced Friday the city is suing the Trump administration after the president signed an executive order to withhold federal aid to cities that don't comply with his immigration policies.

Officials in San Francisco and the county of Santa Clara brought a legal challenge to President Donald Trump’s executive order cutting off federal funding for sanctuary cities and directing use of local officials for immigration enforcement.
