California GOP lawmakers get booed as they unveil bill to roll back sanctuary state protections
Briefly

On Friday, California Senate GOP leaders Brian Jones and Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh introduced a bill, SB 554, aimed at amending the state's sanctuary laws. This move was met with overwhelming protests in San Diego, where a crowd rallied against the proposal, chanting pro-immigration slogans. SB 554 seeks to enhance law enforcement's cooperation with federal ICE, particularly regarding violent offenders. GOP leaders argue this measure is necessary to protect vulnerable undocumented populations, though its success in the heavily Democratic Senate remains uncertain, given the strong pushback from lawmakers and activists.
