America First Legal Adds Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco as Plaintiff in Lawsuit Against Gavin Newsom and the State of California to End Illegal Alien Sanctuary Laws.
AFL:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – America First Legal (AFL) is continuing its fight against California’s illegal alien sanctuary laws by adding a new plaintiff, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, to its ongoing lawsuit on behalf of the City of Huntington Beach against the State of California, Governor Gavin Newsom, and Attorney General Robert Bonta.
“AFL is pleased to announce that Sheriff Chad Bianco has now joined the City of Huntington Beach in challenging California’s illegal alien sanctuary laws,” said James Rogers, America First Legal Senior Counsel.
“States do not have the power to overturn federal law. And under federal law, it is a crime to conceal, harbor, or shield illegal aliens. It is also a federal crime to prevent federal officials from discharging their duties. California’s sanctuary laws require local law enforcement to commit federal crimes. Those sanctuary laws also infringe the free speech rights of law enforcement officers by controlling what they’re allowed to say to the Department of Homeland Security. In this context, the legal violation is even clearer because federal law specifically gives local law enforcement officers the power to talk to DHS about the immigration status of individuals.
“AFL is proud to represent Sheriff Bianco in this important lawsuit to stop California from defying federal immigration laws and will continue to relentlessly defend our nation’s border security and protect American citizens,” said Rogers. more
Sure looks like our system of law and order is on the ropes. Seems they don’t enforce laws and the US constitution equally. Seems we need laws to protect America from selective enforcement. And those laws needs big sharp teeth to see those who issue the special treatment go to jail for LONG periods of time with big fines. We have landed in the third world of law and justice, it’s time to go back to full enforcement.
NO STANDING!
