The second-biggest county in California has now joined the growing revolt against Gov. Jerry Brown and his leftist statehouse cohorts who have declared California a "sanctuary state" and want the cities and counties to pay.
According to Reuters:
SAN DIEGO (Reuters)–San Diego County leaders voted on Tuesday to join the Trump administration's court challenge to a California law limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, amid a conservative backlash to the so-called sanctuary movement.
The Republican-controlled Board of Supervisors voted to direct the county attorney to file a friend-of-the-court brief supporting the administration's lawsuit at the first available opportunity, which is likely to be on appeal, board Chair Kristin Gaspar said.
The 3-1 vote during a closed-door session, with one of the five supervisors absent, followed an hour-long packed public hearing on the matter.(snip)
This is a big one. Up until now, mostly small cities in Orange County next door and its county have declared their objections to the three sanctuary laws that prohibit law enforcement action against foreigners living in the U.S. illegally. Jerry Brown in Washington yesterday belittled the leaders of this growing revolt as "lowlife politicians" instead of elected representatives representing the will of their voters. Now a big beast has climbed aboard.
Brown's insults come off as those of someone getting desperate.
According to the local ABC affiliate, it most certainly was the San Diego County leaders acting on pressure from their voters. A county official told ABC10 News that the move was enacted after a mass protest from 800 constituents, demanding that federal law be honored. A county leader described it this way:
We're talking about hundreds of emails pouring in from all sides. But let us not forget, let's take the emotion out of this. We're talking about following the constitutional laws of our land.

Isn’t it inspiring how Jelly has raised the level of discourse?
low life’s and deplorables our leaders sure think badly of their underlings

CA’s government has openly sided with Mexican colonists blatantly ignoring federal laws.
I am glad Americans in CA are standing up.
Jerry Brown didn’t call Kate Steinle’s killer a lowlife.
I’m starting to think California might be salvageable. I’d much rather see them engage in a revolution that drives out the leftists tyrants than see them divide in to multiple states or attempt to secede.
That Jerry Brown.....
Friend to everyone!
I live in San Diego County and I am proud to be called a low life by that corrupt, senile old Marxist.
The liberals are finally failing there likely due to the shutoff of federal funds that flowed so loosely during the Obama years.
To me they come across as the ravings of a closed-minded, unhinged far-left tyrant who can't stand the thought that anyone would dare disagree with him.
Keep it up, Moonbeam! You can do better. Stoke up that bong and think of something worse. I hope it generates a backlash against your sanctuary racket. Everyone knows it is a scam to buy Democrat votes at the expense of law-abiding citizens.
Maybe he can get his old girlfriend Linda Ronstadt to sing “You’re No Good” for him.
Now tell the Republican party to stand up.
They have been aodong and abetting this for a generation, all for cheap labor.
California used to be the golden state, now it has a massive amount of poverty.
Colonists?
our problem in California is that three groups have been dictating to the rest of the state what policies to have....san Francisco liberal the Hollywood crowd and a the social media tech groups out of silicon vally
That’s what it is called when foreigners enter your country without permission and occupy sections of it.
Is this a joke?
Worst governor ever.
