California contests Trump administration claim that the state obstructs immigration law
Briefly

The Department of Homeland Security released a list of sanctuary jurisdictions obstructing federal immigration law, which includes California and over 500 others. Governor Gavin Newsom criticized this designation, asserting that federal courts have ruled California's laws do not impede federal enforcement. In a letter to the Trump administration, Newsom requested that the state be removed from the list, highlighting that most immigrants contribute positively to society and should feel safe reporting crimes. California's sanctuary policies were further strengthened under former Governor Jerry Brown's administration.
This list is another gimmick - even the Trump Administration has admitted California law doesn't block the federal government from doing its job. Most immigrants are hardworking taxpayers and part of American families.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a list this week of sanctuary jurisdictions that obstruct the enforcement of federal immigration law, including California and over 500 other jurisdictions.
