ICE plans major sweep through Northern California

Rich Terrell, a Californian, by the way.

Legal Insurrection  "Legal Insurrection readers may recall that in October, Governor Jerry Brown signed the “Sanctuary State” rules into law.

"The state policy is designed to prevent local police from helping the Trump administration crack down on illegal immigration. The move was celebrated as a strong #Resistance message and heralded as a successful attack in California’s #WarOnTrump.

"After the measure was signed into law, the feds promised to raid more workplaces and neighborhoods in California.

"File this story, then, under Promises Kept:" . . .

"According to the reports, the raids will target specific types of illegal immigrants:

The operation would go after people who have been identified as targets for deportation, including those who have been served with final deportation orders and those with criminal histories, the source said. The number could tick up if officers come across other undocumented immigrants in the course of their actions and make what are known as collateral arrests.

The sweep would represent the first large-scale effort to target the region since Gov. Jerry Brown in October signed legislation enacting a statewide sanctuary law. Supporters say the law allows undocumented immigrants to cooperate with local police and seek education, health care and other public services without worrying they will expose themselves to possible deportation.

"The response from California’s progressives is as calm and rational as you would expect:" . . .

Warning: Don't count on Brown's bullet train to flee the cops.
