Recently, a U.S. federal judge ruled that an executive order issued during the Trump administration was unconstitutional. The ruling concerned Executive Order 13768, signed by President Trump in 2017, which targeted so-called ‘sanctuary cities.’ The order sought to withhold federal funding from local governments that refused to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.The judge in the Northern District of California found that this executive order violated the U.S. Constitution’s Spending Clause and Due Process Clause. Specifically, the president lacks the authority to unilaterally dictate how congressionally appropriated federal funds are used, and the order imposed conditions on local jurisdictions without legislative authorization.The court emphasized that under the U.S. Constitution, the power of the purse resides with Congress, not the president. By attempting to redirect federal funds through an executive order without congressional approval, the Trump administration overstepped its authority and undermined the separation of powers. While this ruling currently applies only within the jurisdiction of the Northern District of California, it may serve as a significant precedent for similar cases and could influence how the Biden administration approaches related policies.Notably, this is not the first time Trump-era executive actions have been blocked by courts. Previous measures—including the travel ban and attempts to end the DACA program—also faced legal challenges. This latest decision reaffirms the judiciary’s role in checking executive overreach.
近日，美国一名联邦法官裁定特朗普政府时期的一项行政命令违宪。该裁决涉及特朗普在2017年签署的第13768号行政令，即所谓的‘庇护城市’政策。该命令试图通过切断联邦资金来惩罚那些拒绝配合联邦移民执法的地方政府。加州北区联邦地方法院法官认为，这一行政命令违反了美国宪法中的‘支出条款’和‘正当程序条款’，因为总统无权单方面决定如何使用国会已拨付的联邦资金，且该命令对地方政府施加了未经立法授权的条件。法院指出，根据美国宪法，财政支出权属于国会，而非总统。特朗普政府试图绕过国会，以行政命令方式重新分配资金用途，构成对三权分立原则的侵犯。此判决不仅限制了总统在移民政策上的行政权力，也重申了联邦与地方之间的权力边界。尽管该裁决目前仅具区域性效力，但可能成为未来类似案件的重要判例，并对拜登政府处理类似议题产生影响。值得注意的是，这并非特朗普政府首次因行政命令被法院叫停。此前多项移民相关政令，如旅行禁令、终止DACA计划等，也曾遭遇司法挑战。此次裁决再次凸显美国司法系统对行政权力的制衡作用。
