FILE - In this June 26, 2017, file photo, Lydia Balderas, left, and Merced Leyua, right, join others as they protest against a new sanctuary cities bill outside the federal courthouse in San Antonio. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with a lower court that the order exceeded the president’s authority. The Trump administration says sanctuary cities and states allow dangerous criminals back on the street. San Francisco and other sanctuary cities say turning local police into immigration officers erodes the trust needed to get people to report crime. The Trump administration said the order applied to a relatively small pot of money that already required compliance with the immigration law.
