How Huntington Beach is Joining the Sanctuary Opt-Out

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                                                               
Travis Allen’s Statewide Push Against Illegal Sanctuary State Gains Momentum: 
Huntington Beach Joins Growing List of Cities Challenging SB 54
After success in Los Alamitos in March, State Assemblyman Travis Allen launched a statewide effort encouraging other cities to OPT OUT 
and has received over 30,000 Signatures from over 300 Cities
 
SACRAMENTO – Today, State Assemblyman Travis Allen announced that the statewide campaign against Jerry Brown’s Illegal Sanctuary State law is gaining momentum.  Last night, Assemblyman Allen’s city of Huntington Beach heroically stood up for law and order and voted to oppose the Illegal Sanctuary State law.  Since starting the statewide push for cities and counties to Opt-Out of SB 54 on March 22nd, the effort has received over 30,000 signatures from Californian citizens that want their city to enforce Federal Immigration Law.

Today, even Travis Allen’s Republican opponent for Governor held a press conference following Travis Allen’s call for cities and counties to opt-out of California’s unconstitutional Sanctuary State law.

“Huntington Beach’s lawsuit against California’s Illegal Sanctuary State is a major victory for our citizens and the safety of our community,” said Travis Allen. “Our government’s primary purpose is protecting our citizens and I encourage every city in California to also OPT OUT of the Illegal Sanctuary State. Under this unconstitutional, dangerous, and illegal Sanctuary State law,  the California Democrat Party has put criminals before citizens and endangered all Californians. Now is the time for every city across California to stand up and reject this unconstitutional law and follow Huntington Beach’s leadership for the safety of their citizens.”

Members of the Huntington Beach City Council, which Allen represents in the State Assembly, voted Monday to opt out of Jerry Brown’s state law that limits cooperation between local police and federal immigration agents as it relates to criminal illegal immigrants. Travis Allen’s statewide Opt Out effort follows after Allen called on the US Attorney General to sue California over Jerry Brown's Illegal Sanctuary State in the beginning of the year. Allen then called on the US Department of Justice to arrest and prosecute Xavier Becerra for obstruction of justice when Becerra threatened California business owners with prosecution if they cooperated with Federal immigration authorities. Allen is now calling on Federal authorities to prosecute Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf for aiding and abetting criminals when she recently tipped off over 800 illegal criminals which led to over 600 criminals evading arrest, and further as an accessory to a crime after 3 of those criminals recently reoffended in California.

“Kate Steinle’s tragic murder in 2015 was a direct result of San Francisco’s Sanctuary City policy,” continued Allen. “Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom, and the Bay Area liberal elites that control California’s government have now put every Californian in the same danger by sheltering illegal immigrants who are committing crimes in our communities. It's about time that all of our cities and counties OPT OUT and follow Federal immigration law on behalf of their residents.”
 
Last year, Assemblyman Allen introduced AB 1252 which would have defunded Sanctuary Cities across California. This year he introduced AB 2948 which would reverse California’s dangerous and illegal Sanctuary State law.
                                                                                     
As California’s next Governor, Travis Allen has vowed to call a special election to reverse the Illegal Sanctuary State in his first 100 days in office. Allen is encouraging every Californian to sign the petition to tell their local city council to opt out of the Illegal Sanctuary State. A link to the petition can be found here.
