Trump’s United States Attorney for the Central District of California and former California GOP Assemblyman Bill Essayli spoke to The Gateway Pundit on Thursday and outlined his plan to restore law and order to California.
The former pro-border security legislator and Newsom foe said, “Sanctuary state is not workable, and it’s not legal, and we’re going to use every tool at our disposal to end sanctuary state as we know it, in the state of California.”
While it’s a “complicated issue,” he says, California officials may be criminally liable under 8 U.S. Code § 1324, which carries penalties of prison time, for facilitating the invasion and harboring of illegal aliens. Previously, in an interview with The Gateway Pundit, then-California Assemblyman Essayli discussed California’s policies of shielding dangerous illegal immigrants from ICE deportations and releasing them back into the community.
California officials have long ignored ICE detainers, which request that local law enforcement maintain custody of illegals and notify ICE instead of releasing them back into the community after they’ve been prosecuted for a crime.
