California asks judge to toss out Trump admin suit over sanctuary laws
The Hill ^ | may 5, 2018 | Luis Sanchez

Posted on 05/05/2018 12:09:36 PM PDT by jazusamo

California has asked a judge to dismiss the Trump administration's lawsuit concerning the state’s sanctuary laws that protect immigrants in the country illegally, Bloomberg reported.

According to a court filing from Friday, California is arguing that its targeted laws “are consistent with the federal constitutional and legislative framework governing immigration enforcement,” Bloomberg reported.

“California’s laws work in concert – not conflict – with federal laws and are fully constitutional,” California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said in a statement. “The 10th Amendment of the Constitution gives the people of California, not the Trump administration, the power to decide how we will provide for the public safety and general welfare of our state.”

“The federal government has no grounds to intrude on California’s constitutional authority to enact laws designed to protect its people,” Becerra added.

Federal officials filed a lawsuit in March saying that the California legislature passed three laws that violated federal immigration law and the Constitution’s supremacy clause that gives federal laws primacy over state laws.

California’s laws are designed to allow local law enforcement and business owners not to cooperate with federal agents on detainer requests. It also created a state inspection program to monitor federal detention centers and bars California police and sheriffs from asking about a detainee’s immigration status.

Becerra said that California's laws do not undermine federal officials’ ability to enforce immigration laws.

The attorney general's office argues that taking down its sanctuary laws would weaken the trust of law enforcement among the immigrant community, reduce workplace productivity and lead to inhumane treatment for people in detention facilities.

T.S. Ellis sure looks black in his picture on google.
********************************************
I know but it is not his picture. It’s a picture of former Louisiana congresscritter William Jefferson (of bribery cash in freezer fame) who may have been one of Ellis’ trial cases.

“The 10th Amendment of the Constitution gives the people of California, not the Trump administration, the power to decide how we will provide for the public safety and general welfare of our state.”

Really? So taking measures to prevent the federal government from conducting its constitutionally mandated function of protecting the citizens is now “providing for public safety and welfare”?

It is twisted “thinking” like this that makes me think that liberal brains are miswired. They are literally incapable of logical thought, as if the neurons responsible for rational thinking feed into the emotion circuits, causing truly bizarre outputs.

Sorry, you’re a victim of Google & Wikipedia fake news (either because of incompetence or deliberate trolling of us). Google William Jefferson & compare photos.

Of course, for all eternity Google will know of your interest in Jefferson.

I believe there is an organized effort by Google and the Leftist tech biggies to frustrate fact-finding in favor of politically correct views of all kinds.

The decline of actual research on FR is a symptom of the broader problem of the MSM’s and tech companies’ fake facts and news.

At least for certain things, there’s still LexisNexis.

Some kind of weird hack going on.

You can say that again. They’re giving CNN a run for it’s deep-state money.
