Here’s more:
AP – Leaders in Orange County, California, have voted to join a U.S. government lawsuit against the state over its so-called sanctuary law for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.
By a 3-0 vote, the all-Republican Board of Supervisors decided in closed session Tuesday to take the action.
The vote comes a week after the small Orange County city of Los Alamitos voted to opt out of the state law that limits local police collaboration with federal immigration agents.
California passed the sanctuary law last year to try to protect immigrants from stepped-up deportations under the Trump administration.
According to the AP, the county has already begun “publishing the release dates for inmates from the county’s jails to try to help federal agents locate immigrants subject to deportation.”
This can only help the lawsuit as Orange County is most certainly adversely affected by this ridiculous law.
