Default AB 2631 would prohibit California cities from declaring themselves as sanctuary citie

From CAPS

Alert! AB 2631 would prohibit California cities from declaring themselves as sanctuary cities!
Although federal law bars state or local governments from prohibiting their officials from sending information regarding the immigration status of any individual to federal authorities, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and a number of other localities have still declared themselves "sanctuary cities," thus prohibiting their law enforcement officers from cooperating with federal immigration officials.

AB 2631 , introduced by Dan Logue (R-Linda), would declare any such sanctuary ordinances or policies void. As an enforcement mechanism, it would also authorize any resident of a local jurisdiction to bring a lawsuit to force compliance with this bill.
CA ALERT! AB 2631 would prohibit California cities from declaring themselves as sanctuaries for illegal aliens!


Tell your Assemblymember that California must take the initiative in opposing illegal immigration. Barring sanctuary cities would be a good start.

ACTION NEEDED

Ask your Assemblymember to stop cities from impeding immigration law enforcement.

Prohibits California cities from declaring themselves as sanctuaries for illegal aliens
Bill #: AB2631
Year: 2010

Bill Summary:
AB 2631, as introduced, Logue.
Law enforcement: communication with federal immigration authorities.

Under existing federal law, no state or local government entity or official may prohibit any government entity or official from sending federal authorities information regarding the citizenship or immigration status of any individual.

This bill would declare that any ordinance or policy of a city, county, city and county, or law enforcement agency that prevents or limits a law enforcement agency, or an employee of a law enforcement agency, from notifying federal authorities that a person may be within the country illegally is void and not of any force or effect.

This bill would allow a resident of the local jurisdiction to apply for a writ of mandate to compel the entity to comply with these provisions.

Vote: majority.
Appropriation: no.
Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 653.65 is added to the Penal Code, to read: 653.65.

(a) An ordinance, policy, legislative or administrative action, or any other action, of or by a city, county, city and county, or law enforcement agency, that would prevent or limit a law enforcement agency, or would prevent or limit any employee of any law enforcement agency, from notifying the appropriate agency of the United States having charge of deportation matters, that a person, including a juvenile, within the jurisdiction of the law enforcement agency is or may be within the country illegally, is void and shall not be of any force or effect.

(b) A person residing in a city, county, or city and county who has reason to believe that the city, county, city and county, or law enforcement agency having jurisdiction in the city, county, or city and county is enforcing a policy in violation of this section may apply for a writ of mandate pursuant to Section 1085 of the Code of Civil Procedure to compel the city, county, city and county, or law enforcement agency to comply with this section.

(c) If the court grants the application for the writ of mandate, a city, county, city and county, or law enforcement agency subject to the writ shall be given between 90 and 120 calender days from the date of the issuance of the writ to comply. If after 120 days, the city, county, city and county, or law enforcement agency has not compiled with the writ, the court may impose sanctions in an amount necessary to enforce compliance.

I really hope this idea takes off all over the country.
I live in a sanctuary city myself and it's about time!
