(The National Pulse)—The city of El Cajon, located in San Diego County, California, is on the verge of retracting its sanctuary status ahead of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inauguration on Monday. However, residents of El Cajon—known for its large foreign population—forced the postponement of the measure repealing the sanctuary city law earlier this week during a contentious city council meeting.
“This is not about taking our police force and turning them into Border Patrol agents, this is about cooperating with the federal government and following the law,” El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells said, adding: “We have the federal government saying we could be prosecuted if we don’t cooperate with them, we’ve got the state government saying our police officers could be prosecuted if they do cooperate with the federal government.”
A RESPONSE TO TRUMP.
President-elect Trump’s designated border czar, Tom Homan, has repeatedly stated that he intends to pursue legal action against law enforcement officers and state and local lawmakers who attempt to block federal immigration enforcement actions. Should El Cajon end its sanctuary status, it would come as a direct blow to Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA), who says he intends to resist the Trump administration’s efforts to deport possibly tens of millions of illegal immigrants currently residing in the United States.
“It is driven by an anti-immigrant fervor that is concerning for residents in El Cajon who might fear that suddenly the police will be after them, asking them for papers,” Pedro Rios, a local immigrant rights activist, said of the measure before the city council. He blamed Trump and Homan’s “fear-mongering” for the city’s decision to end its sanctuary status.
According to U.S. Census data, nearly 30 percent of El Cajon’s population was born outside the United States. Additionally, California and El Cajon’s sanctuary laws restrict state and local cooperation with federal immigration authorities, preventing local enforcement from questioning individuals’ immigration statuses or notifying federal officials about the release dates of detainees.
