(Worthy News) – A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld most of California’s sanctuary laws, ruling a contested measure does not interfere with the enforcement of federal immigration policies in the state.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the bulk of the Trump administration’s lawsuit in a unanimous decision by a three-judge panel — including an attempt to block the state law that restricts local law enforcement from notifying federal immigration authorities of the release dates of immigrant inmates
The decision upholds most of a lower court ruling from July 2018. The Trump administration sued California over the three state statutes in March 2016, arguing they impeded federal immigration authority. [ Source: USA Today (Read More…) ]
