Judge fast-tracks Huntington Beach lawsuit against California’s sanctuary law
By Susan Christian Goulding | July 9, 2018

​

In the first courtroom discussion about a lawsuit titled “City of Huntington Beach v. The State of California,” The State of California was a no-show.

Despite the defendant’s absence Monday, July 9, Orange County Superior Court Judge James Crandall set deadlines and dates for what comes next in litigation challenging the SB54 California Values Act – also known as the state sanctuary law.

Filed in April by Huntington Beach City Attorney Michael Gates, the lawsuit claims SB54 unconstitutionally interferes with the city’s charter authority to enforce local laws and regulations, including the operation of the police department.

Signed into law last year, Senate Bill 54 was spurred by President Donald Trump’s plan to step up immigration enforcement. It limits interaction between local law enforcement and federal immigration officials — with exceptions, including cases that involve violent or “serious” felonies.

Last week, the state filed a motion to delay the lawsuit’s hearing until after a federal lawsuit against California has been resolved. In March, the Trump administration filed a suit against California arguing that its sanctuary laws are unconstitutional.

But Gates said the two lawsuits address separate issues, and the city’s lawsuit should not have to wait for the federal lawsuit to reach its conclusion.

California Deputy Attorney Jonathan Eisenberg was slated to telephone Crandall’s chambers Monday morning for a brief case management conference. However, he did not call, leaving Gates and the judge to hammer out an itinerary.

Gates told the judge the city would like the hearing to take place as soon as possible.

Crandall set a deadline of Wednesday, July 11 for the city to file an opposition to the state’s request to slow things down, after which the state has until Monday, July 16 to respond. A hearing date was set for July 19.

After the brief conference, Gates expressed optimism that the lawsuit will move forward quickly.

“It sounds like the judge is not going to grant the state a stay, which is great,” he said.

A federal judge ruled last week on the side of California when it comes to limiting police cooperation with immigration officials. Gates said the fate of the federal lawsuit, whatever it ultimately may be, should not impact the city’s own litigation.

“They are totally different lawsuits,” he said. “As a charter city, we have autonomy over our local governance. We are arguing that SB54 is unconstitutional as it relates to charter cities only.”

According to the League of California Cities, the state constitution grants a charter city control over “municipal affairs” — such as how it conducts elections and deals with municipal employees. However, charter cities are subject to the same state laws as “general law cities” on matters considered to be of “statewide concern.”

California has a total of 121 charter cities, including Los Alamitos, Cypress, Anaheim, Placentia, Newport Beach, Santa Ana and Seal Beach.

CA Senate passed bill to let noncitizens serve on public Boards and Commissions
By Roxana Kopetman | Orange County Register | August 30, 2018​

Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, authored Senate Bill 174, which would allow residents to serve on civil boards and commissions, regardless of their immigration status.
State legislators passed the bill, which now awaits the governor’s signature. ​

Noncitizens, including those in the country illegally, will be allowed to serve on boards and commissions in California if Gov. Jerry Brown signs a bill known as the California Inclusion Act.

Under Senate Bill 174, which was approved in the state Legislature last week, qualified noncitizens would be eligible to be appointed to such local boards as planning commissions and state boards that include the Fair Political Practices Commission, the Contractors State License Board and the Board of Registered Nursing.

The goal is to allow people from different backgrounds an opportunity to serve the communities in which they live, sharing different perspectives that contribute to civic engagement.

But set against a national backdrop of divisiveness surrounding immigration issues, the law predictably has stirred the pot.

The legislation, SB174, billed as the first of its kind in the country, angers many conservative residents who describe it as symbolic slap to legal citizens. But it pleases others who argue that immigrants, regardless of their legal status, contribute to the state and have something different to bring to the table.

“This bill gives all Californians the opportunity to contribute to the state in policy areas in which they are experts in,” said Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, author of the bill.

The bill follows a growing number of laws passed in recent years to protect all California residents, regardless of immigration status. These include laws that allow unauthorized immigrants to apply for driver licenses and professional licenses to practice certain jobs, such as as physicians, beauticians, real estate agents and others regulated by the state’s 40 licensing boards.

Current law mandates that to serve on the state’s civil boards and commissions, one must be a U.S. citizen, according to an Assembly Committee analysis of the bill.

Some cities, including Santa Ana, Riverside and West Covina, require that people wanting to serve on most local boards and commissions must be registered voters – and in nearly all cases only citizens can be registered voters. (San Francisco this November will allow for the first time non-citizens parents and guardians with children under 19 to vote in a School Board election.)

The bill would not force local cities to change their laws but it would remove automatic disqualifications that currently exist on state boards and commissions. “We hope cities will see the benefit of including diverse perspectives and voices,” a spokesman in Lara’s office said Thursday.

West Covina Councilman Mike Spence, whose council recently voted to officially oppose the Inclusion Act, said legal permanent residents and those in the country illegally already have a voice.

“Anyone can come in to any meeting and speak,” Spence said. “SB 174 is an attack on how we are governed. To allow individuals you can’t register to vote, and (who) can’t legally work, to govern those who can is an affront to everyone of those that vote and work here.”

Claremont resident Robin Hvidston, who heads an anti-illegal immigration group called We the People Rising, went to Sacramento to protest the proposed law. “We believe our boards and commissions should be for citizens to run our government.”

In Huntington Park, officials didn’t wait for a new state law. In 2015, they changed a local ordinance to allow two unauthorized immigrants to participate in local commissions. Soon after, Julian Zatarain joined the city’s parks and recreation commission and Francisco Medina joined the health and education commission.

“It really provided an opportunity to get a different perspective on the commissions,” said Councilwoman Karen Macias, who was mayor at the time.

Zatarain and Medina, both long-time volunteers in the city, forego the stipends fellow commissioners are paid.

Lara’s bill would allow people to be paid and reimbursed for expenses, unless prohibited by federal law. Only those with work permits, including people who have a temporary deferment from deportation status, would be eligible for the stipends and reimbursements, Lara told colleagues during a committee hearing.

California is home to the largest concentration of unauthorized immigrants in the country: more than 2 million. It’s also home to a large number of non-citizens who are legally present: more than 2.5 million, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.

California governor vetoes bills to let noncitizens serve on boards, block immigration arrests in courthouses
By Louis Casiano | Fox News

​

California Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed two bills Thursday that would have allowed noncitizens, including undocumented immigrants, to serve on state boards and commissions, and would have prevented immigration authorities from making arrests inside courthouses.

Brown’s actions come as California has sparred with the Trump administration over its perceived accommodation of illegal immigrants. An estimated 2 million people reside in the state illegally, the Orange County Register reported.

“Governance belongs to a nation’s citizens,” said Mike Spence, a councilman in the Southern California city of West Covina. “Even Jerry Brown understands citizenship has to mean something.”

Trump has voiced his frustration with California’s immigration policies, calling them “unconstitutional” and “illegal.” Several California cities have voted to opt out of the state’s sanctuary law.

Had Brown, a Democrat, signed SB-174, California would have been the first state in the country to allow legal residents and undocumented immigrants to serve on local and state boards that advise on policy areas such as employment and labor, the Register reported.

“I believe existing law, which requires citizenship for these forms of public service, is the better path,” Brown said in explaining his veto.

The proposed law would have eliminated “transient aliens” from the government code in an effort to make clear that anyone can hold an appointed civil office regardless of citizenship or immigration status.

The phrase is included in an 1872 provision intended to exclude Chinese immigrants and other foreign-born residents from holding appointed civil positions, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The bill’s authors, state Sen. Ricardo Lara and Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo, both Democrats, said the language conflicts with the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to those born or naturalized in the United States.

“There was a time when Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, African Americans, and Catholics were prevented from serving, and California cleared away those barriers,” Lara said. “I predict that this barrier will eventually fall.”

Lara also authored the other bill that Brown vetoed Thursday, the one that sought to prevent immigration authorities from making arrests inside courthouses.

In his veto message, Brown expressed concerns that the proposed law could have unintended consequences. He pointed to the state’s sanctuary law, which limits cooperation between local and state law enforcement agencies and immigration authorities, according to the L.A. Times.

“I believe the prudent path is to allow for that guidance to be released before enacting new laws in this area,” Brown said.

The bill would have allowed judges to stop the arrests or other activities that interrupt their proceedings.

Brown has vetoed other bills passed by the California’s Democratic-controlled Legislature. In 2013, he vetoed one that would have allowed non-citizens to serve on juries.

Judge rules for Huntington Beach in its challenge to state's 'sanctuary' immigration law
By Priscella Vega | Sep 27, 2018

Demonstrators protest Senate Bill 54, a California “sanctuary state” law, during a Huntington Beach City Council meeting in April.​

An Orange County Superior Court judge determined Thursday that California’s “sanctuary state” protections for undocumented immigrants infringe on Huntington Beach’s local control as a charter city, making Huntington the first city to successfully challenge the controversial law.

Senate Bill 54, authored by state Senate leader Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles), in many cases prohibits state and local police agencies from notifying federal officials about the impending release of immigrants in custody who may be deported.

But after an hours-long courtroom debate Thursday, Judge James Crandall sided with Huntington Beach City Attorney Michael Gates’ argument that the law is unconstitutional as it applies to charter cities, which are run by a charter adopted by local voters.

The ruling makes Huntington Beach and all of California’s 121 charter cities exempt from complying with SB54.

Gates said afterward that he was “ecstatic” about the ruling.

“The operation of a police department and its jail is a city affair,” Crandall said. “For the state to say one size fits all for policing isn’t going to fit everybody.”

Several other Orange County governments also have taken steps to oppose the state’s sanctuary policies.

Crandall said SB54 infringes on local governments’ authority to practice policies they know are appropriate for themselves. Cities have a “better view and better ability” to oversee their needs in certain areas, he added.

Though the state may have had good intentions, Crandall said, there are “constitutional protections” for cities from the “ever-extending tentacles” of state rule.

California Deputy Attorney General Jonathan Eisenberg contended that municipalities can exercise other forms of autonomy and criticized Huntington Beach’s “alleged sweeping effects of this law.”

Eisenberg also argued there is an “important need” for a “uniform” public safety law. He referred to comments included in his briefing in which a law professor suggested that if police officials lose the trust of immigrant communities, people in those areas would avoid police and stop reporting crime, possibly resulting in an increase in crime.

But Crandall contended that violent crime is already up in the state and said he would rather rely on the opinions of local police than a law professor who may not be familiar with a city like Huntington Beach.

Crandall commended both sides for submitting strong briefs and said that regardless of his decision, he expected it to be appealed and eventually taken up by the California Supreme Court.

After the hearing, Eisenberg referred questions to Jennifer Molina, press secretary for the state attorney general’s office. Molina could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday evening.

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — Tourists are turning away from the City by the Bay, while a huge medical convention has cancelled plans to meet in San Francisco, saying its members don’t feel safe on the streets. Visitors are often shocked when the reality of San Francisco’s streets. Tourists once took home memories of famed cable cars. These days, too often it is of the image of someone begging, or dancing in circles. “You can smell it,” says one tourist. “I come from a third world county and it is not as bad as this,”

It was only a matter of time businesses and tourism would react.

California Sanctuary Law Divides State In Fierce Immigration Debate

In California, a new state law that took effect earlier this year is pitting cities against each other in a fierce debate over immigration.

SB 54, called the California Values Act, essentially makes California a sanctuary state by limiting how much local law enforcement can cooperate with federal authorities to enforce immigration law. It has divided the state, with some cities embracing the sanctuary law and other cities actively defying the state.

"This is an issue that I take very personally because I am the youngest child of a single immigrant mother with a third-grade education," says state Sen. Kevin de León, who wrote the law. "I wanted to make sure that our local police officers, our sheriffs, were not a cog in the Trump deportation machine, separating innocent mothers from their children and children from their fathers."

Cities that are complying with California's sanctuary law argue it is not up to local police to enforce immigration law, says David Benavides, a member of the city council in Santa Ana, one of several cities in California's Orange County embroiled in this debate.

"If you quote-unquote broke the law by coming to this country to work where there's work aplenty, that's not something that I see that the city should be looking to arrest somebody for," he says.

Los Alamitos opts out

But the Trump administration has sued California, claiming the law violates the Constitution and puts police officers and the public in danger. At least 14 California cities also have joined the sanctuary revolt. The legal battle kicked off in the small Orange County city of Los Alamitos, which voted to opt out of the law in March.

The American Civil Liberties Union sued Los Alamitos in response, writing in its lawsuit that "California law does not allow local officials to unilaterally declare a state law unconstitutional and decline to follow it on that basis."
Los Alamitos Mayor Troy Edgar says the sanctuary law goes too far.

"This is really about rule of law and about local control," he says. "When you look at this, it's really the difference between the boundaries of separation of powers between local jurisdiction, state jurisdiction and federal."

Supporters of the sanctuary law say that without this policy, immigrants are less likely to report crimes in their community because they fear deportation. Santa Ana Police Chief David Valentin says the law is helping police build trust with the community.

"I think some people misinterpret 'sanctuary' for being soft on crime or looking the other way. That's not what it is," he says. "We respond to criminal behaviors, irrespective of your status."

Making communities less safe?

But some law enforcement officials say the sanctuary law is having unintended consequences, says Mark Zito, assistant special agent in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in the Los Angeles area.

Zito says the law is complicating investigations into serious crimes such as human trafficking, and he argues that his division of ICE has become collateral damage in a political battle over the country's broken immigration system. In June, a group of HSI special agents sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen asking to separate HSI from ICE.

"I feel that this has become a political issue, and it really should be a nonpartisan issue, and it's a public safety issue," Zito says. "We help immigrants more than any other agency that I'm aware of. A lot of these immigrants that come across illegally are abused. We go after the bad guys that are terrorizing these people when they're coming up here. We're talking about criminal organizations that are doing this."

Don Barnes, the undersheriff of Orange County, agrees with Los Alamitos that the state law is hurting those it aims to protect. Prior to California's sanctuary law, the Orange County Sheriff's Department always cooperated with federal immigration authorities, he says. But now that they can no longer share information, criminals are being released back into the community when some of them would be detained by ICE for their immigration status.

"It's just that small population of inmates who ICE has said they want that we can no longer communicate. If we can't communicate, we release them back into the community," Barnes says. "I know it is making the community less safe. A lot of the individuals who are arrested are being returned to the communities in which they originally preyed upon."

Officials in Los Alamitos also are facing criticism that the decision to opt out of the sanctuary law is anti-immigrant or racist, but Edgar, the mayor, says that's not true. His wife is an immigrant who came to the U.S. legally after the Shah of Iran was overthrown in the late 1970s.

"She basically had to get asylum in Paris for two years and wait, in turn, to get into the United States," Edgar says. "And so, that is the way immigration should work, and I don't have anything but love for immigrants."

Demographics matter

But other cities in California see it differently. Santa Ana declared itself a sanctuary city before the state passed its sanctuary law. Benavides, of the Santa Ana City Council, says immigration law directly impacts Santa Ana, which is 78 percent Hispanic or Latino with more than 45 percent of residents born outside of the U.S., according to the U.S. Census. In contrast, Los Alamitos is 64 percent white and almost 24 percent Hispanic or Latino.

"We believe in the dignity of all people," he says. "There was no need for the city of Los Alamitos to take the position that they did other than to send a political message. Them and other cities like them [sic] are wanting to send the message that California is not welcoming of immigrants."

Part of the problem is that the issue has become too political, says Barnes, the Orange County undersheriff. The rhetoric from both sides is making it more difficult for law enforcement do its job.

"It's like two divorced parents that are getting pulled in both directions," he says. "We need to stop these extreme, fringe politics and focus on what we're obligated to do in law enforcement. That's providing the public's safety, regardless of what one's immigration status is."

The sanctuary-state law is not on the ballot in the November midterms, but its author, de León, is running against fellow Democrat Dianne Feinstein for her Senate seat. When Feinstein started her Senate career in the 1990s, she promised to stop illegal immigration. Now, her message has changed: She opposes the Trump administration's plan to cut off federal funding to sanctuary cities.

Federal Appeals Panel Upholds California 'Sanctuary State' Law
April 18, 2019

A federal appeals panel has upheld California's controversial "sanctuary state" law, ruling that the measure does not impede the enforcement of federal immigration laws in that state.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, in a unanimous decision, found that the state law, known as SB 54, limiting cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities does not conflict with federal law.

The judges said they "have no doubt that SB 54 makes the jobs of federal immigration authorities more difficult." But "California has the right ... to refrain from assisting with federal efforts."

The decision upholds a lower court ruling issued in July 2018.

The Trump administration had sued California in March 2018, arguing the Constitution gives the federal government sweeping authority over immigration matters. The administration also had challenged two other state laws. One, AB 450, requires employers to alert employees before federal immigration inspections. The other, AB 103, gives the California attorney general the authority to inspect immigration detention facilities.

The appeals panel upheld both of those laws, although it blocked a subsection of the inspection law that gave state authorities jurisdiction to examine the circumstances surrounding the apprehension and transfer of immigrant detainees.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra praised the ruling.

"We continue to prove in California that the rule of law not only stands for something but that people cannot act outside of it," Becerra said in a statement.

"The people this law protects the most are the criminal aliens," ICE said in an emailed statement. "To be clear, ICE neither expects nor wants, local law enforcement agencies to participate in immigration enforcement in the community; but as law enforcement officers, we do expect our partners to participate in protecting public safety."

Suspect in Shooting of California Deputy Previously Escaped Deportation Due to ‘Sanctuary’ Laws
September 7, 2019

After a month on the run in California, a man convicted of domestic violence is in now custody, facing 11 felony charges including attempted murder, after he ambushed officers who were following up on reports he had shot up a house and threatened to kill his wife’s family members.

Guadalupe Lopez-Herrera opened fire on Merced County deputies on Sept. 4, wounding one, and sparking a manhunt that ended the following day when the California Highway Patrol spiked the tires of his carjacked vehicle following a 120 mph chase.

But, according to Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke, all of this would have been avoided if it weren’t for California state laws which prevented his officers from cooperating with federal immigration authorities when Lopez-Herrera—who is in the country illegally—was in custody in January for domestic violence charges.

Lopez-Herrera had been involved in several domestic violence cases, Warnke told reporters, and had been on the run “for a length of time” with a warrant out for his arrest.

The sheriff’s office received information that Lopez-Herrera was doing manual labor at a house. As two deputies approached on Sept. 4, Lopez-Herrera started firing rounds through the fence, striking one and hitting another one of the deputies in the leg.

Pinning down the officers in a ditch, Lopez-Herrera was able to get in a truck, crash through a fence, and escape across a field.

At an old air field, he carjacked a pick-up truck and fled.

The trail was picked up the following morning when Lopez-Herrera showed up at a residence being staked out by law enforcement concerned that he would carry through on his threats to murder family members.

A chase followed, ending when CHP officers spiked his tires and, with the help of a K-9 unit, Lopez-Herrera was arrested.

According to county jail records, Lopez-Herrera faces 11 charges, including burglary, shooting a building, firearms assault, carjacking, criminal terrorist threats, willful harm or injury to a child, and attempted murder.

Lopez-Herrera was arrested back in January, according to court documents cited by the Merced Star, after he pushed his wife against a wall, grabbed a knife, and threatened to kill her.

The woman said Lopez-Herrera then threatened to kill himself.

“You can tell the children that you provoked me to kill myself and it was all your fault,” he is quoted as saying in the court record.

Lopez-Herrera was on probation for assault with a deadly weapon at the time.

Warnke did not volunteer information on Lopez-Herrera’s immigration status, but when asked by reporters, he said he was in the country illegally.

He went on to express frustration at the so-called sanctuary laws in California.

“We had him in our custody in January of this year, and because of the folks in Sacramento limiting our ability to cooperate with ICE, we could not turn him over,” Warnke told reporters. “This kind of rings of what happened to Ronil Singh in Newman.”

“Bottom line is our immigration policies need to be revamped because we’re gonna continue to have more of this situation happen… We knew ahead of time this guy’s potential for violence was there,” Warnke said.

The shot officer is expected to make a full recovery and to be back on duty within days.
