A federal judge ruled in favor of Santa Clara and San Francisco County on Tuesday, temporarily halting President Trump’s executive order to freeze federal funding for sanctuary cities. In a special broadcast from Contra Costa College, situated at the border of Richmond and San Pablo, both sanctuary cities, we’ll discuss the ruling and what it means going forward for the Trump administration, U.S. immigration policy and Bay Area communities.

Guests:

John Gioia, supervisor, Contra Costa County

David Levine, professor, UC Hastings College of the Law
