SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California lawmakers on Tuesday voted down an effort to repeal the state's sanctuary state law.

Current law, known as the California Values Act, prevents law enforcement agencies to notify federal authorities about the release of an undocumented immigrant from jail. Assembly Bill 1708, backed by Kevin Kiley, R-Rocklin, was killed in a 5-2 vote that was along party lines, with Democrats voting against the bill.

The center's argument also said holding an individual based on their immigration status opens up the law enforcement agency's risk of civil liability if that is the only reason the individual is being held.

They are violating federal law. Isn't that justification enough to hold an individual?

The California state legislature will decide which laws to follow and which to ignore, thank you.

[T.B. Yoits]

Placing someone under citizen's arrest is not limited to state laws. Citizen's can arrest illegal alien invaders for violating Federal law.

One party state.... “democracy” in action.

Any city or state that has a sanctuary law should be taxed doubled and receive no funds from the federal government.

Is anyone surprised that this happened in CA? Other states are now sanctuary states. The bill was killed before it even went to a vote.

SOOOOOO—

ONLY 7 persons in the entire state of over 30 MILLION decides about sanctuary status????

HOW???

[ridesthemiles]

Apparently not the entire Legislature-—vote == 5-2.

[americas.best.days...]

Great news!! Long live blue state sanctuaries!!

[skeeter]

Gotta keep a few of the opposition around to maintain the appearance of legitimacy.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

Illegal immigrant criminals should move to California.

[skeeter]

Unfortunately it’s the entire country’s problem now.

[artichokegrower]

“furthers fears in immigrant communities, encourages racial profiling, separates immigrant families, singles out immigrants for double punishment, and undermines due process rights.”

How about the family of Kate Steinle who were separated from their daughter by a dirty filthy 5 times deported illegal alien.

[skeeter]

No mention made of the suffering hosting these illegals cause American citizens. To the leftist dog squeeze we do not count.

Well my giva dam for benighted migrants done broke years ago.

[Vaduz]

California deserves what it gets stupidity marches on.

[captain_jonas]

Here is a great idea: Let’s pack up all the illegals in California and move them to YOUR state

[americas.best.days...]

Sorry, they won’t do as well as they would in California.

Illegals should all seek their new American life in the safe sanctuary of California.

Also, welcome to free Republic!!
