Leaders in San Diego gathered Tuesday, April 10, to urge the Board of Supervisors to side with California.
San Diego County could join in the federal government’s lawsuit against California’s ‘Sanctuary State’ laws, much to the displeasure of local advocacy organizations.
The American Civil Liberties Union has asked Board of Supervisors Chair Kristin Gaspar to remove the proposal, which they have called “an attack” on immigrant communities, from next week’s agenda.
“There is no need for them to vote in support of Trump’s lawsuit against the State of California,” said Norma Chávez-Peterson, executive director of the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties.
