A federal judge threw out the Trump administration's lawsuit against Illinois, Cook County and Chicago sanctuary policies that ban assisting in immigration-related matters.

A federal judge in Chicago on Friday blocked the Trump administration’s challenge to policies in the state of Illinois, the city of Chicago and Cook County that limit the powers of state and local police in assisting federal law enforcement on immigration-related matters.

U.S. District Court Judge Lindsay C. Jenkins for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division said the Trump administration “lacks standing” to invalidate the state, city and county laws that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
