Sheriffs Decry Signing of California Sanctuary State Legislation

National Sheriffs’ Association Executive Director and CEO issued the following statement in response to Governor Brown signing into law California’s Sanctuary State legislation.

“Americas Sheriffs are saddened and disappointed that Governor Brown signed this reckless bill into law. It is unfortunate that California’s law enforcement has become pawns in this political game, but they will continue to do their jobs diligently to protect their communities.”

“We also implore leaders in Washington to take action and pass sensible legislation that would prevent careless legislation from hamstringing law enforcement and would give them the tools to combat dangerous policies like this.”
