Federal court upholds most of California's 'sanctuary' migrant laws
- The Trump administration lost a court bid on Thursday aimed at striking down California's"sanctuary" statutes that prevent local law enforcement from helping the U.S. government's crackdown on illegal immigration.
Scores of Democrat-controlled cities and counties have adopted policies to limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, making them a target for President Donald Trump. He recently suggested he would send an"unlimited supply" of migrants in the country illegally to sanctuary cities. The California laws prohibit private employers in the state from voluntarily cooperating with federal immigration officials and bar local law enforcement from sharing information about the release of illegal immigrants from custody.
