advocates of this policy argue illegal migrants lose trust in the community when their local authorities are involved in immigration issues. however, up on say the sanctuary policy is entering justice from migrants already caught and convicted the. the county insists it will not get in the bay of criminal investigations, but the only county supervisor to vote against the county says it will protect criminal migrants. >> these are not just reckless but endanger every member of the community. let's prioritize safety over politics, justice over ideology, and protection of innocent lives. >> the sheriff of san diego county, kelly martinez has already come out to save her office will not cooperate with the sanctuary policy. the sheriff says state law gives her control of county jails and allows her office to work with the federal government if migrants are convicted of serious, violent or crimes. in my time covering the border,

attacks the next four years from the administration. rather than responding to ridiculous rose from trump lackeys, he will focus on what he focused on during the first trump term leaving with confidence instead of chaos. that was a spokesperson for the governor's office, charles. >> he admits he has been there at 2016 or longer and look at the record appeared to look at what has happened to chicago the mass exodus of chicago. sandra, i just pulled up a tweet on google and chicago restaurants, every single day major restaurant in every single day, every single day, revolution, x market, mexico city, and every single day, playing and running of money. j.b. pritzker's have the world instead as a billionaire and watch this happen because on the ground, the people on the ground did not want this! you are supposed to protect your citizens, not some ideology that
