Excerpts:

A member of the Orange County Board of Supervisors wanted to sue his own state of California because law enforcement in his part of the state are struggling to deal with the decision to become a sanctuary state.

Shawn Nelson, of the Orange County Board of Supervisors, said on “Fox News Sunday” the decision by the state legislature to prohibit local authorities from turning over illegal immigrants to federal authorities without a warrant if they are arrested puts police in a bind.

“We are put in an untenable position where our sheriff’s deputies are precluded from talking to federal authorities if they know the authorities want to pick someone up because the person is here illegally, is charged with a crime, and our people can’t even talk to the federal government unless there are some exceptions that are met, like they are a prior convicted felon,” Nelson said.

Orange County joined the Trump administration in suing the state of California to keep the sanctuary state law from taking effect.
