SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is coming to Sacramento on Wednesday morning to make a "major sanctuary jurisdiction announcement," officials with the Department of Justice released Tuesday.
The announcement will be happening at the 26th annual Law Enforcement Legislative Day hosted by the California Peace Officers' Association at the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel next to the Golden 1 Center.
Sessions' appearance in Sacramento comes a week after more than 150 people were arrested in California for being in the country illegally during a three-day sweep by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
About half of those arrested for being in the country illegally had criminal convictions, ICE officials said.
A day before the sweep began, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf warned residents about the sweep, calling it her "duty and moral obligation" to warn families.
A top immigration official said Wednesday that about 800 people living illegally in Northern California were able to avoid arrest because of Schaaf's warning.
"What she did is no better than a gang lookout yelling 'police' when a police cruiser comes in the neighborhood, except she did it to a whole community," Thomas Homan, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting chief, told "Fox and Friends."
California became known as a "sanctuary state" after Senate Bill 54 was signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown. It went into effect on Jan. 1 and prohibits police from asking questions about someone's immigration status during routine interactions.

Nope - he's going after them in the federal courts, which is what I expected.
because there are people of low character vindictively besmirching him
Yes, That went over my head. You are correct in pointing out that Sessions is by large measure in anybody’s book the best AG since the black activist L. Lynch
Wow. Jeff is a tough guy after all. I'll bet those lawless Democrats are scared shitless now.
Well, the left is giving him a lot of flack for it so he must be over the target.
That's a pretty low bar. The left would give Sessions flak for merely remarking on their lawless behavior, whether he did anything about it or not.
Going to court doesn't scare the left. It's their preferred arena of engagement. Of all the tools at Sessions' disposal, he chose the weakest, least effective one. The left will drag this out for years, while continuing to flout the law.
In a word, Sessions has recused himself again.
What are the more effective ones he should have used?
