San Diego County Becomes ‘Super Sanctuary’ for Violent Illegals

San Diego County’s board of supervisors voted Tuesday to become a so-called “super sanctuary” jurisdiction, refusing to cooperate with federal immigration officials, even when illegal aliens in custody have committed violent crimes.

The resolution says that detainers issued by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) do not provide due process (for people who are not legally present in the U.S.) and that local officials will only cooperate with ICE if there is a judicial warrant.

Republican supervisor Jim Desmond, who was the lone dissenter in a 3-1 vote, called the new policy “an affront to every citizen who values safety and justice,” noting that it protects illegal aliens who have committed “violent and heinous crimes.”
