More local governments in California are resisting the state's efforts to cuddle illegal migrants. They have seen the merit in President Donald Trump's policy and they vowed to support his administration's immigration crackdown. Political experts see this as politics at play after Republicans try to fire up voters in a state where the GOP has grown weak.
Since the Jeff Sessions-led Department of Justice sued California last month over its so-called "sanctuary state" law limiting police collaboration with immigration agents, at least a dozen local governments have voted to either join or support the lawsuit or for resolutions opposing the state's position. Those include the Board of Supervisors in Orange County, which has more than 3 million people.
