As tensions between federal immigration agents and local authorities escalate over California’s sanctuary law, one sheriff harshly criticized his state’s approach to illegal immigration during a White House meeting Tuesday, KOVR-TV reports.
…
Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones spoke at an immigration enforcement forum at the White House, also attended by President Donald Trump, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Thomas Homan.
Here’s what Jones said:
- Jones called California “ground zero for the sanctuary state.”
- He said his deputies don’t perform immigration enforcement, as he would prefer that be left to ICE.
- Jones said California sanctuary law allows more dangerous criminals on the streets, and that the law does not work.
- “There are spectacular failures every single day around California, and I’m sure beyond, of folks that ICE wants as part of their priority,” Jones said.
- Jones said the murder of Sacramento deputy Danny Oliver at the hand of illegal immigrant Luis Bracamontes “started my personal journey and passion toward immigration enforcement.”
