Rubber Room? No. It's called a Sanctuary State
California Gov. Jerry Brown hasn't decided yet if he'll sign the 'Sanctuary State' bill
Jennifer Kerns | Sep 20, 2017, 4:18 PM WASHINGTON EXAMINER
Gov. Jerry Brown, D-Calif., says he has not decided yet whether he'll sign into law a "Sanctuary State" bill passed by the state legislature last weekend.
Brown made the remarks immediately following a press conference at the Bloomberg Global Business Forum Wednesday in New York City, after he was asked about increasing pressure from the White House to refrain from signing the bill.
"I have to read their arguments," said Brown, saying he hasn't decided yet.
Brown noted that the "sanctuary state" bill had been revised and that in his view, it seems public safety protections had been added to the bill.
Brown's response comes as the White House has been increasing pressure on Brown, urging him to stand down on the bill and calling it "unconscionable" that the nation's largest state would thumb their nose at federal immigration policy.
At a speech to federal law enforcement officers at a United States Citizenship and Immigration Office in Portland, Ore., on Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions slammed the Golden State's governor and urged him to consider public safety, threats to national security, and the safety of law enforcement officers. read more
