California's attorney general is taking steps to Trump-proof the state's policies on undocumented immigrants. The attorney general says the state is prepared to take a stand against the threat of mass arrests and deportations. On Wednesday he said that he will protect California values and protect immigrants' rights.
"My focus is on making sure that we protect our immigrants, our LGBTQ community and that's my focus."Police Chief Bill Scott says sanctuary policies encourage people to cooperate in criminal investigations regardless of their immigration status, and that his officers will uphold the laws as they stand. "We have an obligation to our city and our society to uphold those laws and there are good reasons why these laws exist," said Chief Scott.
