The federal judge who ruled against President Trump’s effort to withhold money from so-called sanctuary cities had no business presiding over the case. So, his political favoritism is more conspicuous than it would be for your average federal judge. Well, for one, the Obama administration deliberately chose not to pursue sanctuary cities that were violating the 1996 federal law requiring them to cooperate with federal immigration agencies like ICE. Did he create the appearance of impropriety by presiding over the sanctuary cities case? It should come as no surprise that Orrick ruled against President Trump in the sanctuary cities case.
