(CHICAGO) A federal judge in California has ruled in favor of Los Angeles in its fight with the Justice Department’s attempt to withhold police grants because it’s a sanctuary city. Some think this is good news for Chicago which has a similar case pending.

City Hall has a temporary injunction from a federal judge here, but not a ruling nor the federal aid in question yet.

Mayor Emanuel has said he’s confident he’ll win, “We’re not only not going to turn our back on our history, we’re not gonna turn our back on our future. People from around the world come to this city to achieve the American dream and the United States government cannot coerce the city, cannot block the city, cannot punish the city into changing its value system.”
