A federal judge in New York ruled Friday that the Trump administration
cannot withhold public safety grants to six states and the City of New
York based on the fact that they're so-called sanctuary cities.

Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo
"The Court's ruling against the Trump Administration's anti-immigrant policy is a victory for New Yorkers and for the safety of our communities. Byrne JAG funding plays an essential role in combatting gun violence, fighting the opioid epidemic and supporting criminal justice services, and it is unconscionable that they would be withheld just because New York stands with our immigrant communities. In New York, we will always stand up for the values that built this state and this nation and fight any effort to spread hate and division."
