(June 15, 2020, 11:40 p.m.) -- As flashed on LBREPORT.com's front page and Facebopok pages on June 15, the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear a Trump administration challenge to CA's "sanctuary state" law (SB 54), effectively letting stand a 9th circuit appeals court opinion upholding main part of CA's law.

The Court order (standard procedure) didn't say why it declined to hear the administration's appeal, but Justices Thomas and Alito indicated they would have granted review.

The CA law limits (in some cases prevents) local officials from holding an illegally-entered immigrant at the request of federal officials or informing federal authorities of the impending release of such persons (withexceptions for serious criminal cases or in cases involving a judicial warrant.)

The Trump administration argued that CA's law runs counter to federal primacy in immigration matters and makes it more difficult for fed'l officers to find and remove illegally-entered aliens with the result that individuals with criminal records are released into the community.

Supporters of the sanctuary laws say they make communities safer by encouraging crime victims to cooperate with police.

Amnesia file: The City of Long Beach hasn't formally declared itself a "sanctuary city" but in 2017, a Long Beach Council majority -- with Councilwoman Stacy Mungo exiting the Council Chamber prior to the vote and returning shortly thereafter -- supported Sacramento enactment of SB 54 and SB 31. (7-0, Mungo and Andrews absent.) (LBREPORT.com coverage here>)

In 2018, the LB Council went further, enacting sanctuary-type practices that apply to various Long Beach city departments (6-2, Mungo and Supernaw dissenting, Austin absent). (LBREPORT.com coverage here>)
