WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday slammed as “ridiculous” a US judge’s ruling blocking an executive order that could deny billions of dollars to so-called sanctuary cities harboring illegal immigrants.

Judge William Orrick of San Francisco’s federal court on Tuesday issued a preliminary injunction barring any attempt to implement Trump’s January 25 executive order.

“First the Ninth Circuit rules against the ban & now it hits again on sanctuary cities – both ridiculous rulings. See you in the Supreme Court!” Trump tweeted.
