Senate Bill 54 was approved Saturday with a 27-11 vote along party lines.

A federal response, largely consisting of a reduction of federal funds to the State, are expected.

The decision came hours after a federal judge in Chicago illegally and unconstitutionally blocked the Trump administration’s move to withhold Justice Department grant funds to discourage so-called sanctuary city policies.  The court’s have no constitutional authority to block any action by either branch it believes it opposes.  The judicial branch also has no enforcement arm, so any judicial opinion striking down any executive action or legislative move is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced by the courts in any way.  In short, the response to the Chicago judge’s ruling by the Trump administration should be to reduce the funding going to sanctuary cities. . . despite the judge’s demands.

As for California’s outlaw legislation, members of the Republican Party in the State have shown their disapproval of the bill, and should add it to the GOP’s campaign platform in the 2018 election.

“This bill severely undermines that effort and will make California communities less safe,” said Homan, who hosted a March town hall with Republican Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones on immigration enforcement that erupted in protests.

Thomas Homan, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said California politicians had “chosen to prioritize politics over public safety.”

“This bill severely undermines that effort and will make California communities less safe,” said Homan, who hosted a March town hall with Republican Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones on immigration enforcement that erupted in protests.

Assemblyman Steven Choi (R-Irvine), a first-generation immigrant from South Korea, argued that he came to the U.S. legally and said the bill created “chaos” for a country built on law and order.

Others pointed to the opposition from sheriffs organizations, saying SB 54 tied officers’ hands, allowing serial thieves, chronic drug abusers and gang members to slip through the cracks.
