Just curious - on what ground can a city that is breaking federal law sue the federal government for federal funds?It won't happen, lawsuit will tie up the courts for years.
That the funds being cut were not legislatively tied to their status, ie sanctuary city, or particular legal compliance. For an example, federal highway funds were tied to the state enforcing the 55 mph speed limit. They could be withheld in states like Montana who didn't enforce the federal speed limit. But highway funds couldn't be withheld because the state didn't follow EPA guidelines.
