A bill that would have ended sanctuary protections for illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes against minors was voted down in California.

A California lawmaker who tried to force a vote Tuesday on a bill that would have ended sanctuary protections for illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes against minors had his microphone cut off before the legislation was kicked aside. Assemblyman Bill Essayli motioned to force a vote on AB 2641 in an effort to force state Democrats to go on the record.

Dalila Epperson, a Republican who is challenging Democratic Assemblywoman Dawn Addis, said state Democrats want California to be a refuge for illegal immigrants. 'This is their stand and they are choosing this hill to die on,' she told Fox News Digital. 'Gavin Newsom wants it to be a sanctuary state for abortion and illegal aliens. He wants to provide free health care for them, free school. They can't be deported for any reason whatsoever.

They don't want to give Republicans a platform. They're just going to oppose it out of politics,' Essayli said. 'They're like, ‘We’re never going to let a Republican pass anything here.' They do this thing where they just keep their head in the sand, and they don't respond, and they think it's just going to go away.'
