On April 3, California moved one step closer to becoming a “sanctuary state” when the Senate approved a bill in a 27-12 party line vote. Democrats pushed the legislation through despite passionate testimony against it from a Hispanic woman who chastised senators for considering the measure.
SB 54 now goes to the California State Assembly where Democrats have a super majority. If the bill passes as expected, it then will go to Governor Jerry Brown to be signed into law.
