SACRAMENTO (Reuters) - California Governor Jerry Brown on Wednesday accused President Donald Trumps administration of declaring war on the most populous U.S. state, after the Justice Department sued to stop policies that protect illegal immigrants against deportation.
The Democratic governor made the charge shortly after Attorney General Jeff Sessions intensified the Republican administrations confrontation with California. In a speech in the state capital, Sessions accused California of obstructing federal immigration enforcement efforts and vowed to stop the states defiance.
Sessions addressed a law enforcement group in Sacramento, a day after the Justice Department filed suit against California, Brown and the states Democratic attorney general over so-called sanctuary policies that shield illegal immigrants.
California absolutely, it appears to me, is using every power it has - powers it doesnt have - to frustrate federal law enforcement. So you can be sure Im going to use every power I have to stop them, Sessions, the top U.S law enforcement officer, said in his speech.
Brown called the attorney generals trip to California a political stunt and his description of Californias laws a lie.
Like so many in the Trump administration, this attorney general has no regard for the truth, Brown told reporters, adding that the laws were crafted with input and support from California police chiefs. This is basically going to war against the state of California.

Hey, I never said it was the citizens. I know what out of control government is all about.
I completely understand living in the People’s Republic of NY.
You’re working on the ASSUMPTION that the CITIZENS of California elected them.
If they had, then they would be accountable.
One trick pony, ah.
That is it indeed. California agreed to a uniform rule of natrualization when they joined the union in 1850. It’s in the us Constitution one of the few powers the federal government has.
RAT-sponsored illegals, RAT voter fraud, and the RAT political machine elected the political hacks in CA. Add to that the spineless, gutless people who remain clueless on purpose. Liberals count on the spineless ones. The insane Liberal politicians are a “cancer” that infects towns, cities, and states like New York, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Colorado, California, Oregon, and the list goes on. Liberal cockroaches are trying to claw their way into Texas, e.g., Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and the list goes on. After amoral, corrupt, mentally-deficient Liberals accomplish their goal of “destroying” once great towns, cities, and states, they leave what has now become a sewer they infected and created. Once it’s destroyed and resembles a war zone, Liberals move on to their next targets which are the prosperous towns, cities, and states where you live. You better be ever vigilant and prepared!! Liberals are coming for your towns, cities, and states. They’re a terminal disease moving all over the country. The only way to survive is to conquer Liberalism by organizing, exposing, and outsmarting them. The Liberalism cancer destroys freedom and everything good. The proof is Detroit, Chicago, NYC, San Francisco, LA.
“Theyre a terminal disease moving all over the country. The only way to survive is to conquer Liberalism by organizing, exposing, and outsmarting them.”
Very true, and the largest impediment to “outsmarting them” is to get rid of the GOPE. Without their “influence,” Trump would be moving ahead with his positive agenda at full speed. Just yesterday it was posted here that the number of Federal Judges needing replacements has actually increased in the past year from something around 100 to around 140. McConnell is dragging his feet because he’s fearful that too many Trump-appointed judges will cause the GOPE to collapse.
They are starting to infest NH as well, overflow from Mass.
Reference was to South Carolina’s demand that Fort Sumter be handed over in 1861.
