President Trump is threatening to cut off significant funding from cities and states that limit their cooperation with immigration authorities.
This is not the first time the Trump administration has made a threat like this.
Presidents signed an executive order nearly a year ago directing the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to make a list of sanctuary cities and withhold money from them.
But courts have consistently sided against the administration in almost every case, saying the federal government cannot use federal funding to coerce state and local governments into cooperating with immigration enforcement.
Democratic leaders say they are not intimidated and plan to fight any cuts in court.
