A U.S. judge on Friday blocked the Trump Administration from placing conditions on public safety grants to further its crackdown on illegal immigration, and he ordered the grant money to be released to California “sanctuary cities.”

Nevada has signed on in support of the federal government’s challenge to three so-called “sanctuary” laws in California, Attorney General Adam Laxalt announced Tuesday.

Laxalt joined a coalition of attorneys general in filing a friend-of-the-court brief in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in support of the U.S. Department of Justice’s lawsuit seeking to overturn the laws, officials with his office said in a news release.

The Portland City Council approved a $500,000 grant for potential deportees' legal services, and Multnomah County is matching that amount.

A national nonprofit that bills itself as boosting public support for law enforcement is fundraising off of Fort Collins' supposed sanctuary city status.

The problem: Fort Collins has not formally declared itself a sanctuary city.

Sheriffs in more than a third of Oregon's counties are calling for voters to support an initiative on the November ballot that would repeal a 30-year-old sanctuary state law.

We encourage all mayors and local leaders to reach out to ICE and invite them to your city to educate your community on the Homeland Security mission and discuss integration with your police and county sheriff’s department.
