Chicago v. Noem
Case Overview
A coalition of cities sued the Trump administration over the conditions being put on emergency preparedness funding which requires cities to enforce federal civil immigration law.
The Application
Here, conditioning emergency preparedness funding on local immigration enforcement may fail the Dole test because the condition appears unrelated to emergency preparedness purposes, commandeers municipal resources for federal immigration enforcement, and threatens withdrawal of essential disaster-response funds to coerce compliance.
The Conclusion
The case remains active before Judge Manish S. Shah in the Northern District of Illinois as the court determines whether the grant conditions exceed constitutional limits on federal spending power and infringe on state sovereignty.
