Escalation: Trying To Keep ICE Out of Public Buildings Is the New Big Sanctuary Push
By David Jaroslav June 5, 2018 1 Comment
Not content with just how much they have successfully kept illegal aliens from being deported, a consensus appears to have emerged recently among politicians in multiple sanctuary states: their next major sanctuary policy to adopt is trying to keep federal immigration authorities out of state and local government buildings, primarily schools, hospitals and especially courthouses. The details differ, but the idea is the same, and those pushing it are driving their states headlong towards a potentially dangerous confrontation with the federal government.
Given its record of churning out new benefits and protections for illegal aliens, you’d probably expect California to have taken the lead on this, but not quite. At the end of January, the state Senate passed a bill to prohibit federal immigration agents from entering state buildings without a judicial warrant, and restricting their arrests even with a warrant, but the bill hasn’t moved in the relatively more moderate Assembly at all since then.
