A
pressing issue affecting the state of California depends on whether state
lawmakers will enact a “sanctuary state policy”, which would prevent law enforcement
officials, from local to state, from cooperating with ICE and exchanging
information for the detainment, capture, and deportation of illegal aliens in
our communities.

I believe

am urging the city council to adopt a resolution condemning sanctuary cities
and signaling their opposition to SB 54, which has been misnamed “The Values
Act”, but which would enact that sanctuary state policy I had mentioned.
West
Covina has already done so. State Senator Joel
Anderson will be hosting a press conference condemning SB 54. The conference
takes place tomorrow, in front of West Covina City Hall at 3pm. I have invited every councilmember to attend.

It
based its TPD enforcement policy upon a legal decision in Oregon where the
judge determined ICE detainers were not mandatory and aggressive posturing of
ACLU threats for future lawsuits if cities did not adhere to the perspective
that ICE detainers are not mandatory .
