San Diego County Becomes 'Super Sanctuary' with 3-1 Vote, Shields Criminals from ICE

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors has voted 3-1 to enact a policy that designates the county as a 'Super Sanctuary,' prohibiting all cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), even in cases involving serious crimes like rape. This decision, criticized by some as a radical policy, goes beyond California's existing sanctuary state laws, effectively preventing local law enforcement from assisting ICE with deportations or providing any information on an illegal alien's custody status. Republican Supervisor Jim Desmond was the lone dissenter, arguing that the policy could compromise public safety by shielding violent criminals from deportation.
