So now, California cities will be sued for obeying Federal law.
Now it’s time for the states to say that the same principle applies to disobeying Roe v. Wade.
In one of the first cases since
California enacted its “sanctuary state” law, immigration attorneys will
be filing a legal claim on Monday against Daly City for violating that
law in May when a man was detained by police and handed over to an
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent after being stopped for a
traffic violation, according to attorneys.“If
there was a traffic concern he should be in a traffic court. He should
not be in immigration detention,” said Angela Chan, an Asian Law Caucus
attorney.After the traffic stop,
Jose Armando Escobar Lopez was led away in shackles as a Daly City
Police officer watched. Chan shared the highly redacted police report in
this case and said it raised new questions about the way officers
handled the stop.“Daly city has
violated a whole slew of laws, not just SB 54,” Chan said. “They
actually violated the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution because when
they arrested Armando and held him for ICE, they did not do it based on
any type of real warrant signed by a judge.”
