California Senate Passes "Sanctuary State" Bill
-----------------------------------------------

The California Senate has passed the so-called sanctuary state bill,
which would limit police statewide from cooperating with federal
immigration agents in carrying out President Trump's promised mass
deportations. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has vowed to withhold
federal law enforcement grants to so-called sanctuary cities. The bill,
SB 54, now heads to the California State Assembly. Click here to see our
full interview with the bill's author, California Senate President Pro
Tem Kevin de León.
