This is the federal government illegally asserting a right it does not have, telling cities how to use their resources, and commandeering local law enforcement

In its lawsuit, the coalition claims the Trump administration’s actions have violated 10th Amendment, the separation of powers, the spending clause, due process clause and the Administrative Procedures Act, which sets certain guidelines for how agencies can roll out policies.
“In flagrant disregard of the law, President Trump seeks once again to punish those who disagree with him, coerce local authorities, and commandeer them into carrying out his agenda,” the lawsuit reads.
