San Diego sheriff says she won’t honor county’s ‘sanctuary’ immigration policy

Impasse sets up showdown over California efforts to shield residents from Trump’s mass deportation plans

The sheriff of San Diego county defied a new policy limiting county cooperation with federal immigration authorities, setting up a showdown over California’s efforts to shield residents from Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans.

On Tuesday, San Diego county supervisors voted to prohibit its sheriff’s department from working with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) on the federal agency’s enforcement of civil immigration laws, including those that allow for deportations.
