California has been sanctuary state since 2017 after passage of SB 54 ...The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously last week to become a "sanctuary city," categorically withholding any municipal assistance to federal immigration authorities despite a bevy of illegal immigrants arrested there for violent crimes and even violence against children this year. The 13-0 vote last Tuesday. ...Los Angeles-based attorney Leo Terrell told Fox News Digital that by establishing their city as a sanctuary in opposition to the federal government, the city is "basically protecting criminals from being deported" in a move that will "act as a magnet for criminals." "Guess who's going to run [sanctuary cities like] L.A. and Boston? Criminals – they're getting protection from the government," Terrell said. "This is a signal to anyone who is an illegal who has committed a crime to run to Los Angeles."
