CA Immigration Enforcement Resistance Takes A Shocking Turn-Actual Law Is Already In Place
|
[LegalInsurrection] California Allegedly Threatens Police Officers Over Deportation Compliance?
CA mayor: The State of California “is threatening to take pensions and charge police officers with felonies if they comply with federal deportation laws.”
Bill Wells, the mayor of El Cajon, California, claimed in a Monday post on X that the State of California “is threatening to take pensions and charge police officers with felonies if they comply with federal deportation laws. While the Trump administration is working to enforce immigration laws, California seems intent on blocking these efforts.”
Wells makes it clear that El Cajon, a city of approximately 100,000 people located 17 miles east of San Diego, is not a sanctuary city and that his police officers “are being put in an impossible position.” He wrote:
If they comply with federal immigration authorities, they risk felony charges and losing their hard-earned pensions.
This is unacceptable. No officer should have to choose between doing their duty and jeopardizing their future.
As Mayor of El Cajon, I’m doing everything in my power to protect our officers and stand against these dangerous policies.
If these disturbing claims are true, then the battle lines are already drawn for the first major showdown between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and sanctuary state/city leaders. Defiance of this magnitude from the government of the largest sanctuary state in the country would have sweeping implications for President-elect Donald Trump’s planned mass deportation agenda.
For obvious reasons, there are no references on the internet to this reported ultimatum (or perhaps more appropriately, this reported shakedown). However, in 2017, SB 54, now known as the California Values Act, was signed into law. The law “prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from using money or personnel to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, or arrest people for immigration enforcement purposes.” According to the group “ICE out of California,” this law specifically prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies (excluding prisons) from engaging in the following actions:
- Immigration holds
- Making arrests on civil immigration warrants
- 287(g)
- Asking about immigration status or using immigration agents as interpreters
- Sharing personal info with ICE (e.g., work, home addresses)
- Notifying ICE of release dates
- Transfers to ICE
- Local arrests for “criminal” violations of immigration law
- ICE interviews in jail and prison
- Joint Task forces
- Databases
Unsurprisingly, the page conspicuously states, “In all cases, local law enforcement agencies can adopt policies that provide more protections.” [Emphasis added.]
I am not a lawyer, but the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution essentially tells us that federal law supersedes state and local law. Article VI, Clause 2 states:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
And 8 U.S.C. § 1324 – (Unannotated Title 8. Aliens and Nationality § 1324) clearly states there are criminal penalties for bringing in and harboring aliens.
Again, if this story is true, then the State of California is engaging in financial blackmail against police officers
