Dana Point, Laguna Niguel and Lake Forest this week became the latest cities in Orange County to take stands against the state’s sanctuary laws, adopting resolutions and filing briefs in support of the federal lawsuit against California.
Orange, Newport Beach and Westminster joined the county and seven other cities in opposing California’s sanctuary state law, which limits state and local law enforcement’s communications with federal immigration authorities and prohibits officers from holding and questioning people based on immigration violations.
Santa Ana resident Claudia Perez writes that local officials in Orange County should reject the latest effort by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions effort to legally challenge the California Values Act and instead stand up for State’s Rights.
Cities across Orange County have taken positions on California’s sanctuary laws since Los Alamitos passed an ordinance last month in an attempt to exempt itself from the requirements.
