A Southern California town council rebelled Monday night and voted to reject the state’s sanctuary law.
Los Alamitos Council members voted 4-1 to opt out of a state law that limits cooperation between local police and federal immigration agents.

BUMP!
How courageous of them. I mean that sincerely.
Now THIS is a Constitutional crisis as the municipalities are creatures of the state. Looking forward to some pretty fireworks!
This was bold by Los Al, bolder than people know, when one of the city's major employers is Los Alamitos racetrack, which is teeming with illegals...
I wasn't aware of that demo. Very impressive stand indeed.
Moonbeam will most likely order them to be arrested for daring to defy him.
“This was bold by Los Al, bolder than people know, when one of the city’s major employers is Los Alamitos racetrack, which is teeming with illegals...”
I know, that’s amazing.
Brown: You can’t do that! We passed a law!
Los Alamitos: What about the Constitution?
Brown: You’re not listening.
“Brown: You can’t do that! We passed a law!”
Los Alamitos: So did we!
“Moonbeam will most likely order them to be arrested for daring to defy him.”
Fine! Time for the “$hit to be On” in California. Let the lawsuits begin.
Moonbeam can arrest me too. I voted for these heroes and 100% support them.
