California Rebellion

[Zam-Zam]

One Southern California community is apparently ready to defy the Governor:

A Southern California town council rebelled Monday night and voted to reject the state’s sanctuary law.

Los Alamitos Council members voted 4-1 to opt out of a state law that limits cooperation between local police and federal immigration agents.

The law, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown last year and became effective on Jan. 1, includes prohibiting state and local police agencies from informing federal authorities in cases when illegal immigrants facing deportation are released from detention.

Los Alamitos’ adopted ordinance claims the new state law “may be in direct conflict with federal laws and the Constitution.” The council, therefore, “finds that it is impossible to honor our oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” if they do not opt out of it.

Good for them. I would like to see the circles CA goes through to make that argument. its not OK for for a town in their state to defy state law - state law is supreme, but its OK for a state to defy federal law -because federal law is not surpreme.

Interesting point - It may be difficult to claim superior sovereignty while simultaneously fighting it....:>)

My only fear is that the fascists who run this state will overreact trying to put down this dissent and innocent people will die.
