In retaliation for the threat against its sanctuary counties and cities, the legislature is advancing Senate Bill 54 on a fast-track to passage.
Most sanctuary cities and counties around the United States have policies that block local law enforcement from complying with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests, which ask local law enforcement agencies to hold individuals for an additional 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) after their release date. The extra time is meant to allow ICE agents a window of time to decide whether to take a detained individual into federal custody for removal purposes.
But the current version of SB54 would actually go farther as an extension of rights to illegal aliens and undocumented workers by denying ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection entry to all local jails, restricting their access to some state databases, and banning all state and local agencies from asking and collecting information regarding any individual’s immigration status.
SB 54 is a direct rejection of the January 25 Presidential Executive Order, “Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States,” which states: “Sanctuary jurisdictions across the United States willfully violate Federal law in an attempt to shield aliens from removal from the United States. These jurisdictions have caused immeasurable harm to the American people and to the very fabric of our Republic.”

Time for federal indictments

1.) Do I think CA's legislature and Gubernor Moonbeam are this stupid? Yes!
2.) Do I think 9th Circuit district courts and the 9th Circus appeals court is this stupid? It's a closer cal, but no.
3.) Do I think the USSC is this stupid? No.
Much as many/most Lib-Prog judges probably love the idea of sanctuary cities/counties/states, what I think will lead some of that sort to strike down this law, if passed, is the precedent that would be established that states can overrule Federal laws. I think many Lib/Prog judges would balk at weakening Federal power.

Oh, and give us hundreds of millions of dollars to repair the infrastructure we neglected by immorally redirecting funds earmarked for that purpose and for an emergency.
Just 'cause.
