Last week, Santa Clarita became what is believed to be the first city in L.A. County to formally oppose California's sanctuary state law. After an hours-long meeting May 8, the City Council unanimously voted to adopt a resolution stating its opposition to Senate Bill 54 and directing the city attorney to file a brief in support of the federal government in its lawsuit against California. The measure was largely symbolic, as Santa Clarita does not have the power to exempt itself from the state's law. Neither do the other cities.
