Corona Passes Resolution to Opt Out of S.B. 54 (Sanctuary State)

Mayor Karen Spiegel was confident the City of Corona would vote to opt out of California's Sanctuary State law, S.B. 54.  I spoke to her on Monday Night about the fact that she was the one who put the item on the agenda for Wednesday Night's city council meeting.  She told me she believed the measure would pass without any problem.  From her point of view, it is more than a rule of law issue.  It is also about public safety.  Sanctuary State status places our communities, and our law enforcement, at risk.

The city council chambers was packed with folks from both sides of the issue, and it wasn't until well into the night that the vote finally went down.  The resolution was approved 4-0.

Corona is now a part of the counter-revolution against Sacramento.  The liberal left Democrats of Sacramento have been in a radical rebellion against the rule of law, and the United States Constitution, while doing what they can to protect criminal aliens.

The vote followed a meeting in Washington D.C. that President Trump had with over a dozen officials from California over the law.  Crystal Ruiz of San Jacinto proclaimed, "We desperately need your help."

It looks like President Trump is ready to respond.

A lawsuit is already in play, and with today's meeting at the White House, it tells us that the President is taking the issue very seriously.
