Granted there are a lot of things we do not know about what will happen in California after Donald Trump is sworn in as the 47th President. Here specifically I am speaking about the illegal immigrants now residing in this state and how to deal with them as far as any interaction with ICE is concerned.
The following are excerpts from the SanDiego Union on 12/22/24:
“Here locally the San Diego Board of supervisors voted 3-1 on a policy that would prohibit the Sheriff’s office from assisting in the transfer of an inmate into immigration custody without a warrant or a court order.
But County Sheriff Kelly Martinez said that she would not comply and would continue to follow state law, which still allows some level of cooperation.
Under state law the Sheriff’s office can share the release dates for people in custody if they have qualifying convictions for certain violent or sex crimes.
An official said the following:
‘Immigration officials then decide whether or not they will be present when the individual is released from custody. The Sheriff’s Office does not coordinate with, nor will it delay an individual’s release to accommodate immigration officials.’
In 2023, 25 inmates were transferred from San Diego County jails to ICE custody according to a sheriff’s report. The inmates had been jailed locally on felony convictions that included murder, assault with a deadly weapon, DUI, drug possession, burglary, and participation in a street gang.”
Personally, I cannot quite comprehend why anyone would not realize that turning these types of individuals over to ICE could only be a good thing for the entire San Diego community. Why would the three Democrats on the County Board of Supervisors want to protect murderers, or others on a felony convictions? Here we are not talking about illegal grandmas but dangerous criminals. Since it is very likely that none of these three Democrats on the County Board of Supervisors voted for Donald Trump, is their behavior merely a reflection of their Trump Derangement Syndrome? Certainly it is not a reflection of common sense.
