A federal judge has halted the Trump administration’s effort to redirect federal Homeland Security funding from states that do not comply with specific federal immigration enforcement measures.

U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy’s decision on Monday confirmed a victory for the coalition of 12 attorneys general who filed a lawsuit against the administration earlier this year after learning that their states would face significant reductions in federal grants due to their designation as “sanctuary” jurisdictions.

In total, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency cut over $233 million from Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

This funding is part of a $1 billion program intended for allocation based on assessed risks, with states primarily distributing most of the funds to police and fire departments.

The funding reductions were announced shortly after another federal judge, in a separate legal case, determined that it was unconstitutional for the federal government to mandate state cooperation on immigration enforcement actions in order to receive FEMA disaster funding.
