Gregory Bovino, chief patrol agent, asserted there are no sanctuary cities in California. His remarks were made during an interview at the State Capitol. Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the Border Patrol's actions, alleging they are circumventing a court order. The federal government defended its immigration enforcement, stating that a variety of factors influence stops, not solely a person's appearance. They cited characteristics like clothing and hairstyle as part of reasonable suspicion assessments.
Gregory Bovino, the El Centro sector's chief patrol agent, stated, 'There is no sanctuary city. Sacramento is not a sanctuary city. The state of California is not a sanctuary state. There is no sanctuary anywhere. We're here to stay. We're not going anywhere. We're going to affect this mission and secure the homeland.'
In response to a lawsuit, the government argued that Border Patrol agents consider multiple factors in making immigration stops, stating, 'There are a number of factors Border Patrol can consider in assessing reasonable suspicion, including the characteristic appearance of persons who live in Mexico, such as the mode of dress and haircut.'
