SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – California police chiefs have dropped their opposition to a weakened “sanctuary state” bill that would restrict their interactions with immigration authorities, but sheriffs remained opposed Tuesday saying the measure would still limit their authority to work with federal officers in jails. “This is a step in the right direction.”

The new legislation will allow U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents access state law enforcement databases – something de Leon sought to prohibit in his original proposal.
California Governor Jerry Brown signs a bill that will protect all California residents, regardless of their immigration status, from unnecessary detention and questioning; similar to those ordinances in sanctuary cities.
