On February 7, 2025, San Francisco and 16 other sanctuary cities and counties sued the Trump administration in the District Court of Northern California, seeking an injunction against the implementation of provisions in this executive order as well as Executive Order 14218.[4][5] On April 24, 2025, Judge William Orrick issued the injunction sought, prohibiting the administration from denying funds to sanctuary jurisdictions or making the granting of funds subject to conditions.[6] When asked to comment on the ruling, Trump responded, "Sanctuary cities are sanctuary for criminals. We should close them down."[7]
