The Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Department has announced that it will begin publishing a list of criminal aliens who are inmates in the county jail, as part of its existing \u201cWho\u2019s in Jail,\u201d online database.\u00a0 The information made public will also include when criminal aliens are released from jail, a move that comes in direct retaliation to the state\u2019s \u201csanctuary\u201d laws which prohibit cooperation between police and federal immigration officials.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is in response to SB-54 limiting our ability to communicate with federal authorities and our concern that criminals are being released to the street when there\u2019s another avenue to safeguard the community by handing them over (to ICE for potential deportation),\u201d Orange County Undersheriff Don Barnes said.<\/a><\/p>\n California\u2019s \u201csanctuary law\u201d has recently encountered resistance to this dangerous policy from multiple communities in California. Most notably, the City Council in Los Alamitos voted last week on an ordinance to exempt the city from state law over concerns that it is unconstitutional.<\/p>\n Troy Edgar, Mayor of Los Alamitos: \u201cWhen [California] passed the sanctuary law, this law basically conflicts directly with my oath of office\u2026 to support and defend the Constitution.\u201d https:\/\/t.co\/tgSpg5XLQz<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/mPsbZRxlrv<\/a><\/p>\n — Fox News (@FoxNews) March 27, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
