Cities and counties led by San Francisco and the county of Santa Clara , California , file lawsuit in California federal court.

"This is the federal government coercing local officials to bend to their will or face defunding or prosecution," San Francisco city attorney says.

Sanctuary laws prevent state and local law enforcement from assisting federal civil immigration officers.

Supporters of such laws say cooperation with federal immigration enforcement would discourage immigrants from coming forward as victims or witnesses to crimes.
