"Assistant Attorney General Chad Readler tried to make the case that San Francisco and Santa Clara counties did not need to be suing the government because they had not faced any penalties yet. And he suggested that they stood to lose far less than the $1 billion in federal funding that was originally anticipated under the President's January executive order, so everyone just needs to calm down. Readler told U.S. District Court Judge William H. Orrick, "We don’t know yet exactly how the policy is going to be applied," according to the LA Times. He said the penalties would likely apply "only to a limited range of grants" from the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, and may not amount to any dollars lost at all for San Francisco (and perhaps about $1 million for Santa Clara County). Readler added, "We don’t know whether there will be any enforcement action and what it will look like."

Its infuriating there isn't more leverage that the federal government can apply.

If they were standing in the way of tax collection and enforcement you can bet they wouldn't be so blase about it.
