Today, Attorney General Jeff Sessions narrowed the scope of the executive order purportedly stripping sanctuary cities of federal funding.  Instead of removing all federal funding from sanctuary cities, the Trump Administration is now only restricting these localities from receiving certain Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security funding. I have previously criticized the Administration for its position on sanctuary cities, namely that it was running afoul of the anti-commandeering principle. Although it is still crucial to keep the Trump Administration honest, this is certainly a welcoming sign.
