Leaders of Orange County, California, planned Tuesday to consider fighting a state law aimed at protecting immigrants from stepped-up deportations under the Trump administration. The backlash to California's so-called sanctuary law comes a week after the small city of Los Alamitos in Orange County voted to opt out of the policy. The county moved this week to improve communication with federal immigration agents by publishing the release dates of inmates online. Legal experts and immigrant advocates have said cities can't simply opt out of state law and will face lawsuits if they try. But the idea that Orange County would consider taking such a stand is concerning to immigrant advocates, he said.
