Judge throws out Trump’s lawsuit against Illinois over sanctuary policies

Here is the order.  Politico reports that “[a] federal judge has thrown out the Trump administration’s bid to force Illinois and Chicago to aid its mass deportation agenda, saying it would encroach on autonomy guaranteed to states under the Constitution.

U.S. District Judge Lindsay Jenkins concluded that the lawsuit — the first filed by the administration this year trying to upend so-called `sanctuary policies’ in states and cities — was an `end-run around the Tenth Amendment,’ which protects states from federal government overreach.”
