The California Senate passed Senate Bill 54 on Monday, barring state and local law enforcement agencies from using their resources to help federal immigration authorities. Senate Bill 54, also known as the "sanctuary state" bill, passed the Senate in a 27-12 vote, CNN reported.
"Our precious local law enforcement resources will be squandered if police are pulled from their duties to arrest otherwise law-abiding maids, busboys, labors, mothers and fathers," Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León, who authored the bill, said in a statement.
De León claimed the bill is "a rejection of President Trump's false and cynical portrayal of undocumented residents as a lawless community."
The "sanctuary state" bill prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from using their resources to cooperate with the federal immigration authorities. Resources include money, facility, property, equipment or personnel from state and local law enforcement. According to CNN, "They would be prohibited from asking about immigration status, giving federal immigration authorities access to interview a person in custody or assisting them in immigration enforcement."

So why did Arizona have to obey Obama? Situational ethics in government is no government.
California is a monument to the mistake of amnesty. Now the Democrats there see their state as a part of mexico so there is no wonder that they would do this.
Total anarchy.
Leftists think that their social-engineering schemes are easy, because for so long they have had access to massive government (and private) debt, in a printed, unbacked currency, all supported by the Federal Reserve.
Take that away from them, and you destroy the Left immediately.
Things are going to get a whole lot worse in California before... well, before they get even worse than that. There’s no end to the worseness in sight.
That’s gonna be fun.
Immigration is a Federal issue- NOT state
“Resist we much!” LOL. Those loony liberals.
de Leon’s own immediate family has illegals in it. I’d suggest ICE pay them a visit.
Start rounding up the De León family.
Half of that clan are not legal residents of the USA.
We can save a lot of money for reducing the deficit if we just cut California off from all federal funds.
Total Fools in action.....
Agreed, so why involve moronic the middle-man, as in states like CA?
One can do so by contacting ICE directly.
Report suspicious criminal activity to the ICE HSI Tip Line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
If this were to stand, all the way up to the Supreme Court -
in as much as the California Senate bill is not so much in opposition to any Executive Order issued by Trump, but a raft of federal laws that have been in place for years, poorly executed in the past or not -
then by what reasoning could the same court deny any state the right to reject Obamacare’s demands on that state’s individuals, businesses or insurers.
Unless they were intellectual hypocrites, they couldn’t.
” to arrest otherwise law-abiding maids, busboys, labors, mothers and fathers,”

There are NO “otherwise law-abiding” illegal aliens.
They Must break multiple laws DAILY to continue their illegal presence.
Document fraud, illegal employment and benefit fraud at the very least.
ALL illegal aliens ARE subject to removal.
We should not have to wait until illegal aliens harm or kill Americans before they are removed.
Excellent Question Luke- I was pissed at brewer for caving to obama like she did- She talked a tough game up until that point0 then folded like a cheap suit
Just a Mexican separatist trying to tear apart the United States.
Should be the catalyst for civil war. We don't have to live under the rule of hostile foreigners posing as Americans, although we just got rid of one in D.C.
California, there’s the door. Use it.
