Cities and counties led by San Francisco and the county of Santa Clara, California, said in a lawsuit in California federal court that the Republican president's administration was unlawfully trying to force local officials to cooperate by threatening them with a loss of funding and prosecution.
«This is the federal government coercing local officials to bend to their will or face defunding or prosecution,» San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu, a Democrat, said in a statement. «That is illegal and authoritarian.»
Other local governments that joined the lawsuit included Portland, Oregon; New Haven, Connecticut; and King County, Washington.
The lawsuit came a day after the U.S. Department of Justice sued the state of Illinois and city of Chicago, alleging the Democratic strongholds were unlawfully interfering with Trump's crackdown and seeking a court order blocking so-called sanctuary laws.
