San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera praised the ruling and said the president was "forced to back down." The government hasn't cut off any money yet or declared any communities to be sanctuary cities. "Sanctuary cities" is a loosely defined term for jurisdictions that don't comply with immigration authorities.

The San Francisco and Santa Clara County lawsuits were the first to get a hearing before a judge.
