Daniel Anthony Manion and Frank Easterbrook dissented. On April 20, 2018, Rovner ruled against Trump's policy punishing sanctuary cities. Rovner said allowing federal agencies to add conditions to grant funds without explicit congressional authority could lead toward "tyranny." Rovner wrote, "The Attorney General in this case used the sword of federal funding to conscript state and local authorities to aid in federal civil immigration enforcement. But the power of the purse rests with Congress, which authorized the federal funds at issue and did not impose any immigration enforcement conditions on the receipt of such funds. It falls to us, the judiciary, as the remaining branch of the government, to act as a check on such usurpation of power." Rovner was joined by William Joseph Bauer upholding the nationwide injunction against the policy. Daniel Anthony Manion partially dissented, saying he would narrow the injunction to protect only Chicago.
