Starting Jan. 1, dangerous criminal aliens including DUI, domestic violence, theft, and drug possession, as well as repeat offender misdemeanors, will be released from California jails, and police and sheriffs will not be allowed to call ICE to come get them. They will walk free right back into our communities.
We are still awaiting promised lawsuits and action by the DOJ to halt this new dangerous state sanctuary law before it goes into effect in less than 2 ½ months. If this illegal and unconstitutional law is not overturned by Dec. 31st, even more innocent American citizens in California will die at the hands of illegal aliens and foreign criminals who will feel even more emboldened to break more of our laws.
……While the measure (SB 54 – Sanctuary State), which goes into effect Jan. 1, isn’t expected to bring major change to the region in terms of law enforcement operations, it still leaves Sheriff Bill Gore — who is responsible for the county’s jails — with some lingering concerns about potential public safety consequences.
His top concern: Jail deputies will no longer be able to notify immigration officials prior to the release of non-citizen inmates arrested for lower-level offenses — from simple drug possession to misdemeanor domestic violence to petty theft. That puts potential chronic troublemakers back on the streets and causes immigration authorities to have to hunt them down in the community — at work, home or public places — rather than detain them in the safety of a jail setting, Gore said.
“Instead of taking them into custody in the facility, they will be out in the neighborhoods. … It tends to make us less safe,” Gore said in an interview Tuesday….
…. Gore said that even though those crimes might be considered minor offenses — such as offenses recently made misdemeanors under Proposition 47 — there is nothing to account for repeat offenders.
“That’s what bothers me, repeat offenses of drug use, theft, domestic violence, DUI. That’s OK according to the state legislature…..
