June 22 (Reuters) - A California court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump's administration against Los Angeles over a city ordinance limiting its cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
U.S. District Judge Fernando Olguin rejected the administration's argument that the city's policy was unconstitutional. He gave the administration permission to file an amended complaint.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the decision on Monday.
Los Angeles city attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto said in a statement on Monday that the ruling "reinforces the well-established principle that local governments have the authority to decide how to use their personnel and resources."
