Race's Beloved California: One Step Closer to Sanctuary State Status

ABC News:
California lawmakers gave initial approval Monday to a measure that prevents law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration officials, a measure that proponents said rebukes President Donald Trump for his immigration crackdown.
It makes California a statewide sanctuary for many people who are in the country illegally.
The state Senate passed the measure on a 27-12 vote, sending it to the state Assembly over the objection of opponents who said it endangers the public by shielding felons from being deported.
"By passing this today you'll be kicking the president right in the groin, and I can imagine he's going to strike back," said Republican Sen. Jeff Stone of Temecula.
The American Civil Liberties Union, the National Day Laborer Organizing Network and other supporters said the bill would give California some of the nation's strongest anti-deportation protections.
Lawmakers in the nation's most populous state also advanced two other bills that attempt to impede the president's immigration policies. They sent the Assembly a bill, SB6, that would provide $12 million to pay lawyers for immigrants facing deportation, and another measure, SB31, that would bar state officials from sharing data if the federal government creates a Muslim registry.
California is home to an estimated 2.3 million immigrants who do not have legal authorization. San Francisco, which is among cities with its own sanctuary law, is suing over Trump's executive order.
The statewide sanctuary bill, SB54, would bar police and sheriffs from arresting or detaining people just for immigration violations unless a judge issues a warrant. De Leon's recent amendments also make it easier for local law enforcement to hand over criminals to federal immigration officials if they were previously deported for a violent felony.
State and local law enforcement agencies would not be able to help investigate immigration violations or inquire about someone's immigration status.
The measure also seeks to limit immigration enforcement activities in schools, courthouses and other public facilities.
"If we don't control our borders, we cease to be a nation," objected Sen. Ted Gaines, a Republican from El Dorado Hills. "We cannot become a beacon of lawlessness."
"This is an acknowledgement of the cultural and economic contributions made to our great state by immigrants from all over the world," de Leon said outside the Senate chamber after the vote. "And it is a rejection of President Trump's false and cynical portrayal of undocumented immigrants as a lawless community."
