Orange County may take stand against state's 'sanctuary' laws
http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-anti-sanctuary-movement-in-oc-20180327-story.html
Just more than a week after tiny Los Alamitos voted to defy California's law protecting immigrants in the country illegally, Orange County is poised to become a counterpoint against the state's resistance to the Trump administration's policies.
On Tuesday, Orange County supervisors may consider whether to take up a resolution to condemn and possibly take legal action against the state's "sanctuary" laws.
"These state laws are preempted by federal law," Orange County Supervisor Shawn Nelson said. "Our officers actually face penalties under state law if they so much as talk to federal agents for the wrong thing. That's just unacceptable and it's contrary to federal law."
Los Alamitos is following federal law. A good start for Orange County.

The O.C. Sheriff is getting on board as well
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department, whose leadership opposes the new California sanctuary law that limits cooperation with federal immigration officials, announced Monday that it is now providing public information on when inmates are released from custody.
As of Monday, March 26, an existing “Who’s in Jail” online database includes the date and time of inmates’ release – a move agency officials say will enhance communication with its law enforcement partners.
The release date information applies to all inmates, not just those who are suspected of being in the country illegally. But the goal is to assist agents with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE.
“This is in response to SB-54 limiting our ability to communicate with federal authorities and our concern that criminals are being released to the street when there’s another avenue to safeguard the community by handing them over (to ICE for potential deportation),” Orange County Undersheriff Don Barnes said.

Maybe common sense will prevail in Ca finally. :thatsright:

Ironic that we can thank Obama for suing to stop Arizona when that state tried to enforce its own immigration and border policies.

Just goes to show the law of unintended consequences in effect. They certainly never intended the immigration law to be enforced, but their lawsuit enshrined federal primacy in that realm just prior to a President who made stopping illegal immigration his core campaign promise.
