California may prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities, creating a border-to-border sanctuary in the nation’s largest state as legislative Democrats ramp up their efforts to battle President Donald Trump’s migration policies.
The legislation is scheduled for its first public hearing Tuesday as the Senate rushes to enact measures that Democratic lawmakers say would protect immigrants from the crackdown that the Republican president has promised.
While many of California’s largest cities — including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento — have so-called sanctuary policies that prohibit police from cooperating with immigration authorities, much of the state does not.
The Democratic legislation, written by Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon of Los Angeles, comes up for debate less than a week after Trump signed an order threatening to withdraw some federal grants from jurisdictions that bar officials from communicating with federal authorities about someone’s immigration status.
The Senate Public Safety Committee considers SB54 Tuesday morning. The Judiciary Committee will also consider fast-tracked legislation that would spend state money, in an amount that has not been disclosed, to provide lawyers for people facing deportation.
Some Republicans have criticized the Democratic reaction to Trump’s policies, saying bombastic rhetoric and provocative legislation will inflame tensions with the president and harm California.
The debate over sanctuary cities reached a fevered pitch in 2015 after Kate Steinle, 32, was fatally shot in the back Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, who was in the country illegally after multiple deportations to his native Mexico. Lopez-Sanchez, who told police the gun fired by accident, had been released from a San Francisco jail despite a request from federal immigration authorities that he be held in custody for possible deportation. Trump often cited the Steinle case during the campaign.
Many other cities and counties in California also refuse to detain immigrants for deportation agents out of legal concerns after a federal court ruled that immigrants can’t be held in jail beyond their scheduled release dates. Since then, federal agents have been asking local law enforcement agencies to provide information about immigrants they’re seeking for deportation, if not hold them.
There ya go! Remove immunity of public officials for such ultra vires acts. Take every thing they have, to include pensions, real estate, job, etc. Let’s see some real honest asset forfeiture!!
Charge the governor and legislature with sedition.................
This will be a great kick start for the State of Jefferson in the many conservative counties, where our Sheriff’s will tell the CalExit fags/maggots to go pound sand.
Bring it on fags/maggots and help us to get the State of Jefferson really going.
Just what I was thinking, The next best thing to deporting muzzies, or having them self-deport, is to have them all concentrate themselves in a few lawless “sanctuary” states or cities. Let these self-designated sanctuaries support them all, sans federal funding,
Hussein did it for eight years, the left has gotten quite used to the idea that they pick and choose which laws they’ll obey and enforce, and which ones they won’t. All this drama is because President Trump is merely reminding them that they are also subject to the rule of law, and they’ve gotten used to acting otherwise, wirh impunity.
That way, the whole STATE will be a zone of insurrection, and we can roll tanks and conquer Sacremento, and free the oppressed peoples of California.
None of us was alive then. The dirty little secret is, everything is up for grabs now. That’s exactly the way the Left sees it, and we better get wise.
I know this is like trying to explain the color teal to a blind person, but what exactly would look different if CA became a sanctuary state?
Trump needs to announce that any family that experiences a death as a result of this sanctuary policy has the right to sue the governor.
It would get worse, mucho worse.
Tijuana would look like paradise compared to California...........
Let them secede, and they can take their 55 electoral votes with them.
No need for more on our beaches.
.
Or mountains...
I have been promoting your concept for all illegals, since Trump was elected POTUS the first and second time and confirmed by the electoral vote.
Advice to all illegals to quickly do one of two things before you are deported back to your home country! In Spanish first.
Asesoramiento a todos los ilegales para hacer rápidamente una de las dos cosas antes de ser deportado de regreso a su país de origen.
1. Deport a ti mismo lo antes posible. No espere para regresar a su país de origen para los mejores trabajos y la vivienda. Si espera hasta enero de 2017, habrá cero puestos de trabajo y no habrá vivienda en México / América del Sur.
2. Si usted no hace # 1, entonces haga # 2: Inmediatamente vaya a una de estas ciudades del santuario enumeradas abajo y solicite la vivienda, el bienestar, las tarjetas EBT gratuitas, los teléfonos de Obama y Obama Care:
La Raza, antes LA, San José, Gay Frisco, San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, San Luis, Nueva Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, DC, Baltimore, Nueva York o Boston. No esperes o vivirás en las calles luchando contra las pandillas negras y BLM por territorio, comida y beneficios.
Batir la prisa, hacer # 1 o # 2 arriba
English form: Advice to all illegals to quickly do one of two things before you are deported back to your home country.
1. Deport yourself asap. Do not wait to return to your home country for the best jobs and housing. If you wait until Jan 2017, there will be zero jobs and no housing in Mexico/South America.
2. If you don’t do #1, then do #2: Immediately go to one of these sanctuary cities listed below and apply for housing, welfare, free EBT cards, Obama phones and Obama Care:
La Raza, formerly LA, San Jose, Gay Frisco,San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, St Louis, New Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, DC, Baltimore, NYC or Boston. Don’t wait or you will be living on the streets fighting the black gangs and BLM for territory, food and benefits.
So all illegals, Hispanic, Muslim, ??, beat the rush, do #1 or #2 above
Time for internal passports?
Perhaps Jan Brewer can advise them.
If they secede it won’t be an ‘internal’ passport...............
That is an excellent suggestion!
If the federal government creates a federal cause of action against state and local officials in their individual capacity who violate federal laws, that will allow citizens to pursue financial claims on their own.
It’s about time that state and local officials who create deadly threats against society should pay out of their own bank accounts for their wanton behavior.
