Nearly a week following the deadly church shooting in Sacramento that saw a father kill his three daughters and a man chaperoning a supervised visiting before turning the gun on himself, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones is pointing to U.S. immigration policies and California’s Sanctuary State Laws to blame.
The Republican Governor of Montana signed a bill this week banning sanctuary cities in the state.
Gov. Greg Gianforte (R) signed the bill passed earlier this year by the state legislature requiring all cities in Montana to comply with federal immigration law.
Pennsylvania's U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey is looking to end what he calls a "radical" policy in sanctuary cities, like Philadelphia.
Such overreach in California’s sixth-largest county, justified by claims to enhance public safety, is ironic, given Santa Clara’s lax sanctuary policies, which have recently resulted in tragic deaths.
Nevada has signed on in support of the federal government’s challenge to three so-called “sanctuary” laws in California, Attorney General Adam Laxalt announced Tuesday.
Laxalt joined a coalition of attorneys general in filing a friend-of-the-court brief in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in support of the U.S. Department of Justice’s lawsuit seeking to overturn the laws, officials with his office said in a news release.
For months, ever since other Orange County cities began taking stands against California’s new “sanctuary law,” Tustin has faced pressure to do the same.
In contrast to what is typically a staid affair, Tustin council meetings increasingly have been dominated by passionate opponents of SB 54 – which, under certain circumstances, limits interaction between local police forces and immigration officials.
A lawsuit against an Orange County city that has opted to “exempt” itself from California’s controversial sanctuary law will move forward, a judge ruled Friday.
Orange County Superior Court Judge William Claster denied a motion to dismiss the case against Los Alamitos but agreed with the city to remove both the city manager and the police department as defendants.
