California Democrats should be forced to go on the record to end sanctuary protections for illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes against minors, said one lawmaker who is attempting to do just that. Republican state Rep. Bill Essayli said he will again introduce a bill to repeal provisions of a state law that prohibits local authorities from participating in federal immigration enforcement of any kind. The law, SB 54, also known as the "California Values Act," is sometimes referred to as a "Sanctuary State" law.Next week, Essayli will put forth AB 2641, which would require law enforcement to comply with federal immigration requests to detain or transfer someone or notify immigration agents of the pending release of someone convicted of sex crimes against a child. The bill was previously introduced to lawmakers but the powerful Democratic-dominated Assembly Public Safety Committee refused to hold a hearing on it.Agnes Gibboney, a U.S. citizen and Angel Mom, criticized elected officials for protecting criminals and neglecting the safety of the community. Essayli was inspired to seek a legislative fix to California's immigration policies by a recent case involving a Colombian citizen convicted of sex crimes in California. He believes targeting illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes against children will force Democrats to defend their policies.Gibboney is urging lawmakers to vote for necessary changes in California's laws. She questions who ordered police officers not to do their job and protect the community."
