Los Alamitos might challenge California over states sanctuary law

The City Council in Orange County’s second-smallest city is scheduled to vote Monday, March 19 on an ordinance that calls for exempting itself from the California Values Act, SB54, a new law that limits cooperation between law enforcement and immigration authorities.

Stating that council members have taken an oath to defend the U.S. Constitution, the ordinance says the council “finds that it is impossible to honor our oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States” and at the same time be in compliance with the new state law.

The proposed ordinance might be the first local attempt in California to officially challenge the law, said Kathleen Kim, a Loyola Marymount University law professor who specializes in immigrants’ rights and human trafficking.

I lived there for a good while in the 80s (La Palma, Cypress, BP), and I loved it just as much as anywhere else I've lived.

Somebody's votin' for these fuckers, though.

My parents live in an upper class OC neighborhood and nearly all of their neighbors are Fox News fans. Of we go to gatherings and they bring up politics, it's not going to end well.
