County of Santa Clara 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
The Trump administration imposed immigration enforcement requirements on emergency preparedness grant recipients, which plaintiffs contend violates spending clause limits by being coercive and unrelated to the grant's purpose, and violates anti-commandeering principles by conscripting local officials into federal enforcement.
The Conclusion
The case remains active before Judge Orrick in the Northern District of California; the court has not yet resolved the merits of plaintiffs' constitutional challenge.
