Man whose son killed by immigrant works to overturn California sanctuary law
A man whose son was killed by an immigrant said Wednesday he and other advocates will mount a drive to try to overturn California’s new sanctuary law, putting the question directly to voters in a ballot initiative that, if it succeeds, would force police to share information with federal deportation authorities.
Don Rosenberg said they hope to file their initiative later this week, kicking off a six-month drive to get enough signatures, which could send the matter to voters in 2019 or 2020.
“This will be David versus Goliath. We’re clearly David on this side. But there are millions of Davids here,” Mr. Rosenberg said.
It’s the latest move in what’s become a high-stakes battle over SB54, the state law that severely limits state and local police and sheriff’s departments in their ability to communicate or work with Homeland Security.
California’s
Democratic leaders pushed SB54 through late last year to try to stymy President Trump’s push to step up immigration enforcement — but now communities within California are mounting their own rebellion against the state, sparking ferocious fights playing out in city halls across the state.
