As a response to President Donald Trump about the problems and dangers to American citizens that sanctuary cities presented, the Democratic leadership, endorsed by Gov. Jerry Brown, passed a new law making California itself a sanctuary state. Prior to this new law, there were some 35 cities across California that were identified as sanctuary cities, although several of those cities subsequently disputed that label.

The California wildfires raced toward wineries and the historic town of Sonoma on Saturday, chasing hundreds more people from their homes and threatening to roll back firefighters' modest gains against fires that stretched across a 100-mile swath of Northern California. Propelled by stiff winds, the fires damaged or destroyed several buildings in the middle of the night before crews halted their advance at the edge of Sonoma, where firefighters spent days digging firebreaks to keep flames from reaching the city's historic central plaza built centuries ago when the area was under Spanish rule.
Authorities say about 100,000 people are under evacuation orders as the wildfires in Northern California burn for a sixth day. As a flare-up drives hundreds more to flee on Saturday, some people who have been evacuated all week are demanding to get back into their homes.
California Gov. Jerry Brown issued an emergency proclamation Friday that will allow the state to increase its supply of vaccines amid a hepatitis A outbreak that has killed more than a dozen people. The outbreak involves more than 570 of cases in San Diego, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles counties.
California Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday declared a state of emergency to combat a hepatitis A outbreak that has claimed 18 lives in San Diego. Brown said the federally-funded supply of vaccines is inadequate.
"This action protects public safety and ensures hard-working people who contribute to our state are respected," Gov. Jerry Brown said as he signed a package of bills aimed at protecting at least 2 million undocumented residents from being detained and, perhaps, expelled. It's California's most dramatic "resistance" to President Donald Trump, at least so far, and seems destined to provoke his administration, particularly Attorney General Jeff Sessions, into a confrontation.
A firefighter walks near a pool as a neighboring home burns in the Napa wine region in California on Monday, as multiple wind-driven fires continue to whip through the region. More than ten people have been killed, thousands have been left without power, and tens of thousands have been forced to evacuate as more than a dozen wildfires tore through Northern California overnight Monday, forcing Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of emergency in eight counties.
California became the first "sanctuary state" for undocumented immigrants Friday, a decision criticized by the Trump administration which believes the move will compromise security. California's governor, Democrat Jerry Brown, signed the landmark legislation - Senate Bill 54 - which grants better protections to people who are in the US without permission, including those who have committed crimes.
You could have seen this coming a mile away, once California Governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown signed the sanctuary state bill The Trump administration's immigration chief warned Friday that his agents will be making more arrests in California neighborhoods and workplaces because Gov. Jerry Brown signed a "sanctuary state" law. Tom Homan, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Brown's decision to sign Senate Bill 54, which offers more protections for unauthorized immigrants, undermines public safety and hinders his department from performing its federally mandated mission, adding that "the governor is simply wrong when he claims otherwise."
The country's top immigration cop said Friday his agents "will have no choice" but to conduct workplace and neighborhood immigration raids in light of California's new sanctuary law. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Thomas Homan said in a statement Friday that California Gov. Jerry Brown's decision to sign the law, SB54, would "undermine public safety and hinder ICE from performing its federally mandated mission."
"It is essentially what we've been doing in Los Angeles County for some time and it strikes that balance between public safety and public trust." But, Ira Mehlman with the Federation for American Immigration Reform, says ICE should have the right to enforce federal laws in the state, just like other federal agencies.
