A proposal for sanctuary city policies by a Democratic county supervisor would far exceed those already imposed on California by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Nora Vargas, the chairwoman of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, said California protections for illegal aliens were not strong enough and issued a proposal to further frustrate deportation efforts.
“San Diego County has a vested interest in maintaining public safety and effective law enforcement while also managing its resources efficiently.

The resolution would restrict all San Diego County officials from cooperating with ICE on immigration enforcement efforts related to civil infractions but did not restrict cooperating with investigations into suspected criminal violations.
Vargas said that all San Diegans were at greater risk when illegal aliens are afraid to report crimes to law enforcement officials to avoid possible deportation.
Republican County Supervisor Jim Desmond told Fox News that he would vote against the measure because it would endanger citizens.
“Sanctuary policies are reckless and dangerous, putting innocent lives at risk. Every American family deserves safety,” he said. “No community should suffer the heartbreak of losing a loved one due to politically driven policies that protect criminals instead of holding them accountable.”

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a campaign to pass legislation to oppose the agenda of President-elect Donald Trump. Part of that effort includes funneling millions of dollars to the attorney general’s office in order to file lawsuits against the incoming administration.
A profile of Vargas at the Voice of San Diego referred to her as the first “binational” person on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, as well as the first immigrant on that board.
