SECOND LA COUNTY CITY OPPOSES SB 54

Report by Robin Hvidston

Glendora resident Audrey Teasdale has been contacting her mayor and city council members requesting that the city council oppose the Sanctuary State Law. She did not let up on the pressure and has contacted the city council members for many weeks!
 

Glendora Mayor Pro Tem Judy Nelson emailed Audrey and informed her that the city council took action on May 8th to oppose SB 54 and stated that the City of Glendora will sign onto the amicus brief for the federal lawsuit. I also called the Glendora city clerk who confirmed that the city council, unanimously, opposed SB 54 and will sign an amicus brief in support of the federal lawsuit. There is no information published online at this time.

Thank you to Audrey for staying on top of her city council!

The city of Highland, in San Bernardino County, also voted to oppose SB 54 and send letters to all concerned local, state, and federal officials on the matter.

The Highland Community News reports:

In a
chamber dominated by critics of Senate Bill 54, the “sanctuary state” law,
Highland became the 15th Southern California city to express its opposition
Tuesday night.
On a
3-2 vote with Councilman Jesse Chavez and Councilwoman Anaeli Solano
dissenting, the council voted to send letters to U.S. Attorney General Jeff
Sessions, California Gov. Jerry Brown and others arguing the prior law
adequately protected the rights of incarcerated individuals.
Patterned
after a letter sent by Yucaipa City Council, which voted last month to oppose
the law, Highland’s protest cites the Dec. 2, 2015, attacks in San Bernardino
as an example of local, state and federal agencies working together.

That's a fresh perspective on SB 54, since the legislation forbids cooperation between state and federal officials, and federal agencies work with ICE in a number of capacities.
“Yet,
despite input from sheriffs, police chiefs and many other experts, the
Legislature adopted this ill-advised barrier to otherwise lawful cooperation
and communication between these agencies for law-enforcement purposes,” the
letter says.
Between
30 and 40 people were in the audience, the largest turnout of the year. Nine
speakers spoke against SB54, one spoke in favor and two urged the council not
to take a position.

Incredible. It's good to note that more people across the state, men and women who normally have not attended a city council meeting before, are now holding their governments accountable.
Chavez
made a motion to take no action and Solano seconded it. Mayor Larry McCallon countered
with a substitute motion in support of the letter.
However,
City Attorney Craig Steel, who wrote the staff report on the issue, advised the
council to vote on Chavez’ motion first.
It
failed 2-3 and McCallon’s motion was approved 3-2.
Formally
known as the California Values Act, SB54 was approved 27-11 in the California
Senate on a party-line vote.
It
passed the Assembly 51-26 with two Democrats and all Republicans opposed. The
governor signed the bill in October and it became law on Jan. 1.
Here are some of the remarks from the city council:

“I’m
for SB54 on behalf of my constituents,” Solano said.
Councilman
John Timmer said he immigrated to the United States in 1953 and became a
citizen five years later.
“I’m
a strong believer that we are a nation of laws,” Timmer said.
“The
California Legislature can’t decide which laws it is going to obey and which
ones they will disregard.”
He
said that what Sacramento is doing is inappropriate.
Timmer’s
comments drew a smattering of applause, which prompted the mayor to threaten to
have the room cleared.
Decorum at all costs is essential.
McCallon
pointed out that the Sheriff’s Department reports the names of inmates, so they
are available to the public and federal immigration authorities.
He
added that a lawsuit has already been filed against SB54, so there’s no point
in the city taking a risky legal position.
“Since
SB54 has a direct effect on the safety of our citizens, I do believe the city
should go on record by writing a letter to the governor and others expressing
our opposition,” McCallon said.
The cities of Apple Valley and Victorville will take up this issue in subsequent city council meetings, too. This is happening, everyone, right here in the state of California, one segment of the Left Coast which the rest of the country had written off as unsalvageable. 

That is simply not the case!
