Most California sheriffs fiercely opposed the 'sanctuary state' law. Soon they'll have to implement

Two years ago, as others in California were limiting cooperation with federal immigration agents, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Department welcomed them into its jail.

Sheriff Margaret Mims gave U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement unrestricted access to databases and private rooms to interview inmates. She reorganized release times so agents could easily pick up people who had served their sentences.

The policy sparked outrage among immigrant rights groups, who called it a pipeline from incarceration to immigrant detention, one that they said disproportionately and unfairly affects Latinos.

“We are not anti-immigrant for working with ICE,” Mims said in defense of the approach. “We are anti-criminal activity.”

That belief is held by many of California’s 58 county sheriffs who will be on the front lines of implementing the landmark “sanctuary state” law, which Gov. Jerry Brown signed last month. It takes effect on Jan. 1.

Senate Bill 54 was introduced as a sharp rebuke from Democrats to President Trump’s call for more deportations. It is designed to limit the people that California law enforcement agencies can detain, question or investigate at the request of federal immigration officials. But its impact will largely rely on county sheriffs whose departments play a vital role in immigration enforcement — and most of whom, like Mims, were opposed to SB 54.

Just ignore the unconstitutional crossing of jurisdiction. What would they do? Take you to court to force argue before a judge that they’ve de facto nullified all elections across the state for county sheriff and can dictate agency policy as if they won?

Wait, these are liberals, of course they think that.

“Reparations not Deportations”? (sign behind “No Human is Illegal”) Now the illegals want reparations too?

I guess it’s time to decide to who the sworn oath is to protect.

Amen

Everyone knows Moonbeam isn’t doing this because of humanitarian reasons. He’s doing it to maintain the Democrats stranglehold on California, and in the process turning it into another Latin American dump!

I don’t understand why Trump and the feds haven’t filed suit against sanctuary cities and states.

A few years back Arizona tried to enforce our immigration laws (because Obama wouldn’t). Obama filed suit against Arizona and won in the Supreme Court, which ruled that the feds are in charge of immigration. So why aren’t the feds in charge now?

_______________________________________________
Sheriff offices are state constitutionally created entities and the sheriff is is the last stop and duty bound and sworn to protect the citizens within his/her jurisdiction. State enacted laws, especially those that present serious constitutional questions, can not be enforced by the sheriff against the lawful citizens residing within his county. The sheriffs need to stand their ground and take their biding from their local citizens, not officials from other counties comprising the central state legislature.

Well hell yeah they want reparations, don't you realize that California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Texas and parts of Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma make up the mythical Aztlan that was stolen from La Raza by the evil White Europeans and so any and every person that identifies as a Hispanic is owed reparation payments?

You know just like every Black, no matter where they came from and when demands slavery reparations from White Europeans, no matter they were never salve owners.

DEAD ON

When SB1070 passed in Arizona the entire MexiCommie Left went apes**t screaming "only de federal goberment can make de eeemeegration law!!"

They sent some Chinese lawyer from the ACLU to Phoenix to lecture all the American people about that. As if she had anything to do with the Constitution, the United States of America, or the concepts of Anglo-Saxon Protestant jurisprudence.

So uh, now that the shoe is on the other foot, what happens?

Kevin de Leon, the non-Citizen who happens to be the California Senate President (!!), is the guy who carried the bill - he always does, because his only concern is for Mexican illegal aliens. SB54 simply nullifies federal law and takes California out of the Union.

Where do he and Brown get that kind of power?

Easy. They just take it and stick their tongues out at Rip Van Sessions, because they know they have him over a barrel with Bob "Traitor" Mueller working hard for the Mexican Separatist government in waiting.

And that's what's happening. The worthless little man, Mr. Compromised Jeff Sessions, is too terrified to go after the Big Bad Macho Mexican de Leon and his Jesuit buddy Brown.

And it's never the other way around.
