California sheriffs who opposed adopting a “sanctuary state” law are now being tasked with implementing the law in their jails and retention policies.
The law, which began as Senate Bill 54, was issued in response to President Trump’s campaign against illegal immigration.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the sanctuary law “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.”
In sum, the law is an attempt to limit cooperation with federal authorities and federal immigration policies. It makes sheriffs the final arbiter over who can and cannot see the immigration status of those detained in county facilities. This puts sheriffs in a tough spot, particularly those who were elected in “conservative or rural areas.”
Sheriffs Who Opposed ‘Sanctuary State’ Bill Now Must Enforce It

Yeah, just like they’ll enforce the “assault weapons re-registration” coming in January.
Either action is illegal, whether at federal or state level. Sucks to be a CA cop these days.
Sucks to a Californian these days.
Wonder who got the contract to build those ‘police cruisers’ – Cushman or E-Z-Go?
Feds take over
Daily I see how corrupt calicrats break the law and I wonder why the hell should I obey the law? All of these guys/gals should be doing life terms making big rocks into little rocks. I pray for the day of reckoning.
I like their Pursuit Special MFP Interceptor.
Why? The “Sanctuary State” law itself asserts the principle of nullification. Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.
