Santa Clara County, along with several cities including San Francisco and Oakland, filed a motion in federal court to block President Trump's initiatives to cut funding to immigration sanctuaries. These jurisdictions aim to limit local law enforcement's cooperation with federal immigration efforts. Attorneys argue that withholding funds violates constitutional rights, particularly the Tenth Amendment, and could have detrimental impacts on public services. The county relies on substantial federal funding which constitutes a third of its budget for health care, education, and infrastructure. A court hearing is scheduled for April 23.
The motion seeks an immediate stay on Trump’s plans to cut funding to sanctuary jurisdictions, arguing they violate constitutional rights and threaten core democratic principles.
Santa Clara County's funding from the federal government is critical, making up about a third of its budget, which supports essential services like health care and education.
