This was not urgent enough to publish after 2pm ET, DarthVader, so I pulled it back for the next day.

[Fox5SanDiego] The county Board of Supervisors Tuesday voted to file a court brief siding with the federal government in its lawsuit against California's so-called sanctuary state law.
With the vote, San Diego County became California's most populous county to rebuke state policies aimed at protect select immigrants from deportation. The sanctuary state law, SB 54, limits cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
San Diego County's approach differs from that of the Orange County supervisors, who voted last month to join the suit. Instead, the San Diego County attorney will draft an amicus brief in support of the case, which will allow officials to offer their opinion without actually becoming involved in the courtroom fight.
However, the deadline to file such a brief has passed, meaning the earliest opportunity San Diego County will have to weigh in on the case will be if and when a decision in this case is appealed by the losing party to a higher court.
So much for lockstep Blue State. San Diego County: "the 2010 population was 3,095,313.[5] making it California's second-most populous county and the fifth-most populous in the United States." (Wiki) |
