The driving factor is money. San Francisco\u2019s budget is close to $10 billion. The mayor is drafting a blueprint how to spend it all. But President Trump\u2019s executive order is throwing sand into the gears.<\/p>\nRUSH: I want you to meet the San Francisco \u201cSanctuary Duo\u201d Mayor Ed Lee and City Attorney Dennis Herrera.<\/p>\n
On January 31, Lee and Herrera filed a federal lawsuit to stop President Trump\u2019s Executive Order cutting funds to so-called sanctuary cities. Last week, the duo went back to court to demand a \u201cfreeze\u201d on Trump\u2019s order until the lawsuit is decided.<\/p>\n
The driving factor is money. San Francisco\u2019s budget is close to $10 billion. The mayor is drafting a blueprint how to spend it all. But President Trump\u2019s executive order is throwing sand into the gears.<\/p>\n
Mayor Lee told the court that if the Trump administration strips all federal funds from San Francisco for refusing to comply with our immigration law \u201cthe result will be catastrophic.\u201d The mayor claims he\u2019s operating blindly because he doesn\u2019t know how much money the city stands to lose. The city\u2019s budget director warns that even if it\u2019s only a 10% cut, they\u2019ll have to fire first responders — which is what elected liberals always say when they talk about people that\u2019ll have to be fired first.<\/p>\n
Lawyers doubt the Sanctuary Duo\u2019s suit will go anywhere because you can\u2019t mount a challenge before the city has actually lost any money. Well, okay, fine. But that misses the point. There\u2019s something more fundamental at stake.<\/p>\n
These Democrats are demanding a federal court stop a duly-elected president from enforcing federal law because they want to protect sanctuary cities, which are not legal!<\/p>\n
