The city of Huntington Beach, California is planning to declare itself a 'non-sanctuary city' and cooperate with federal agencies on immigration enforcement. City Attorney Michael Gates announced that a proposal to introduce this declaration at the next city council meeting. Huntington Beach is also suing the state of California, claiming that its sanctuary state laws violate the U.S. Constitution and force the city to choose between complying with state or federal immigration laws.
The city of Huntington Beach, a southern suburb of Los Angeles and Anaheim, is breaking from Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s fealty to illegal migrants and pledging to become Donald Trump’s hub for deportation in California.
City Attorney Michael Gates has posted a video to his X account to report that a proposal to declare the municipality a “Non-Sanctuary City” will be introduced at the next city council meeting.“Huntington Beach is poised to declare itself a ‘non-sanctuary city,'” Gates said in his video. “At the next council meeting on Tuesday, there’s going to be an initiative presented to City Council for adoption declaring the city ‘Non-Sanctuary Status,’ meaning that it will coordinate and cooperate with federal agencies, and fully effectuate all of the tools available both at the local, state, and federal level for best practices to combat crime.” Huntington Beach, which is about an hour south east of L.A., has already taken the state of California to court claiming that Newsom and the state legislature are violating the U.S. Constitution with sanctuary state laws and subsequently forcing Huntington Beach to break federal laws by being subject to the state laws. “The conflict of laws created by the State presents an untenable ‘Hobson’s Choice’ for the City of Huntington Beach, e.g., comply with the State’s new Sanctuary State Law and violate U.S. Federal immigration laws, or comply with the Federal immigration laws, and violate the Sanctuary State Law,” the city’s lawsuit reads. “This conflict must be reconciled by this Court.” The lawsuit added the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution would necessarily demand that local and state laws would take a backseat to federal laws where it concerns immigration. “The State cannot force the City to violate U.S. Federal immigration laws that both the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal and the United States Supreme Court have held preempted under the Supremacy Clause,” the lawsuit states.WaPo Admits Trump ‘Already Conquered’ Washington Before InaugurationGeert Wilders for Breitbart: Unlike Trump’s America, EU Bigwigs Censor to ‘Protect Democracy’ From VotersNYT’s Brooks: Biden’s Right About Oligarchy, But There’s a Dem Oligarchy in Hollywood, N.Y., San FranciscoIsrael Will Release Mass Murderers, Terrorists in Hostage Deal
