ICE and Local Governments


For John, BLUFA local government in California is being sued over its actions with regard to illegal immigrants.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From The Epoch Times, by Mr Mark Tapscott, 28 August 2019.

Here is the lede plus two:

Non-profit government watchdog Judicial Watch announced Wednesday it has filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court seeking a permanent injunction to bar Santa Clara County officials from enforcing a sanctuary policy that protects illegal aliens accused of heinous crimes.

Filed on behalf of Santa Clara County taxpayer Howard Myers, the suit requests an injunction against Sheriff Laurie Smith and Rick Sung, acting chief of corrections.

The injunction would prevent Smith and Sung “from expending taxpayer funds and taxpayer-financed resources on a recently enacted policy that requires federal immigration officials to obtain a judicial warrant before an alien in Santa Clara County’s custody may be transferred to Afederal immigration officials’ custody for removal from the United States.

Live by the Lawsuit, die by the Lawsuit.  I wonder if Santa Clara will fold to save the money, sort of like Lowell.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
