Donald Trump’s November victory owed little to the largest U.S. cities, which voted against him in force. So far into Trump’s presidency, there’s no sign of warming relations. The White House issued an executive order in January that threatens to block federal funding to jurisdictions that refuse to comply with U.S. immigration-enforcement efforts. On Monday, Chicago filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department over newly unveiled funding requirements that deny grant money to such “sanctuary cities,” joining other municipalities that have since taken the administration to court.
