A federal judge on Thursday rejected Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Sean Duffy’s attempt to tie state funding to immigration enforcement operations.

“Congress did not authorize or grant authority to the Secretary of Transportation to impose immigration enforcement conditions on federal dollars specifically appropriated for transportation purposes,” U.S. District Judge John McConnell wrote in the preliminary injunction.

McConnell, a former President Obama appointee, said the 20 states suing the Trump administration are likely to succeed in blocking Duffy’s efforts to restrict federal funding.

In late April, the Transportation secretary said states would lose federal funds for roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects if they block President Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts; support diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives; or defy other directives from the administration.
