Flea, is This Your Town?

City council members in Huntington Beach, California, unanimously passed a resolution on Tuesday to declare the Los Angeles suburb a "non-sanctuary city."

The resolution, titled "Non-Sanctuary City for Illegal Immigration for the Prevention of Crime," was introduced by Mayor Pat Burns, who filed a lawsuit earlier this month against California for its sanctuary law, Senate Bill 54. The legislation, signed into law by former Gov. Jerry Brown (D) in 2017, prohibits local officials from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Tuesday's resolution received unanimous support from the city council, passing in a 7-0 vote. The measure directs Huntington Beach police to cooperate with ICE and notify the federal agency when the city releases an illegal alien from its jail system.

The resolution went into effect immediately.

There are some sane municipal councils in California.
