Trump's January order took aim at places with "sanctuary" policies protecting undocumented residents and made them ineligible for certain*federal funds, but a November ruling from U.S.*District Judge William H. Orrick found that Trump's order for local governments to enforce federal immigration laws*violated the separation of powers doctrine and Fifth and Tenth amendments.
