Facing Backlash Against Sanctuary Law, California Tries To Clarify How Local Police Can Work With Feds On Immigration

California is seeking to clarify how far local law enforcement can go in cooperating with federal immigration authorities, amid a growing backlash from some jurisdictions against the state’s controversial sanctuary law.

In a 10-page document issued Wednesday to all state and local police agencies in the state, the California Department of Justice laid out guidance about how they should respond to requests from immigration authorities. The new rules are intended as a practical guide to complying with the California Values Act, a sanctuary state law that limits what immigration-related information state and local officials can share with federal authorities.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said the guidance document helps draw the line between cooperation and active enforcement of immigration law, which is prohibited under the Values Act, also known as SB54.  more at Daily Caller

  3. Whacko Brown giving cover to Becerra the drug kingpin. They must have gotten an earful of bad news from the field warning them no Police will carry out the dirty work for Becerra. I predicted he would back down.
