The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 3-1 to enact a policy to become a ‘Super Sanctuary’ county.
“The San Diego County Board of Supervisors just voted 3-1 to enact this policy & become a ‘Super Sanctuary’ county, prohibiting all cooperation with ICE, even on serious crimes like rape, & going further than CA sanctuary state law,” Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin said.
“Republican @jim_desmond only no vote,” he noted.

“The Democrat Chairwoman of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors has introduced a resolution that would prohibit all county cooperation w/ ICE, including notifying ICE about release dates for criminal illegal immigrants. The policy would go further than CA’s sanctuary state law, which she says ‘fell short of protecting all residents,’” Melugin previously said.
“Shall not provide assistance or cooperation to ICE in its civil immigration enforcement efforts including by giving ICE agents access to individuals or allowing them to use County facilities for investigative interviews or other purposes, expending County time or resources responding to ICE inquiries or communicating with ICE regarding individuals’ incarceration status or release dates, or otherwise participating in any civil immigration enforcement activities,” the resolution reads, according to Melugin.
“Sanctuary policies are reckless and dangerous, putting innocent lives at risk. Every American family deserves safety. No community should suffer the heartbreak of losing a loved one due to politically driven policies that protect criminals instead of holding them accountable,” Republican San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond said.

NBC 7 San Diego reports:
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 3-1 Tuesday to restrict the use of county resources for federal immigration enforcement.
Board Chairwoman Nora Vargas said the policy “is designed to ensure local resources are focused on addressing the County’s most urgent needs, while protecting families and promoting community trust.”
“Immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility, and our county will not be a tool for policies that hurt our residents,” said Vargas, who made the proposal.
The policy directs the chief administrative officer to “report back within 180 days on the data related to any transfers or notifications during the past year to federal immigration authorities and provide recommendations” on how to effectively carry out the policy, according to a board letter.
The board letter states that “immigrant communities form an integral part of our county’s social fabric. When federal immigration authorities, including the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Border Patrol, coerces local law enforcement to carry out deportations, family members are separated and community trust in law enforcement and local government is destroyed.”

“San Diego County Sheriff Kelly Martinez announces she will not adhere to the ‘super sanctuary’ policy approved by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors today, pointing out that she is an independently elected official, the Board does not set policy for her office, and she has exclusive authority over county jails. She adds that California state law is clear on when local law enforcement can cooperate with ICE, and that there is no ‘loophole’ in the law as claimed by Nora Vargas, the Democrat Chair of the San Diego County Supervisors who introduced the policy,” Melugin said.
“Essentially, the Sheriff just called out the Democrats on the Board for virtue signaling, saying she had made her position clear and they knew she would not adhere to this policy before they voted 3-1 to approve it, with the lone no vote coming from Republican @jim_desmond,” he added.

Per Newsweek:
The lone oppositional vote came from Supervisor Jim Desmond, who told Newsweek: “Today’s outrageous decision to turn San Diego County into a “Super” Sanctuary County is an affront to every law-abiding citizen who values safety and justice. The Board of Supervisors’ 3-1 vote to embrace this radical policy is a direct betrayal of the people we are sworn to protect.
“This reckless measure not only goes far beyond California’s already extreme Sanctuary State laws but actively endangers our communities by shielding illegal immigrant criminals from deportation.”
San Diego County, home to 3.3 million residents and situated along the U.S.-Mexico border, stands out as one of the more notable local governments enhancing protections for undocumented immigrants.
California possesses the second-largest state Justice Department in the U.S., ensuring it is uniquely equipped to square off against Trump’s new administration.
Shortly after Trump’s electoral victory, Governor Gavin Newsom called a special session of the state legislature. The special session was intended to tackle a range of issues, including protecting immigrant families, ensuring reproductive freedom, safeguarding civil rights and securing California’s financial interests, particularly in the face of threats to withhold federal funding.
