California Law Enforcement Groups Say Sanctuary Law Makes Communities Less Safe. Top sheriff: We can't call ICE on three-time drunk-drivers or MS-13 gang members.

The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Sheriffs on the frontlines of immigration debate in California are warning that the sanctuary state law the legislature passed over the weekend ties law enforcement's hands too tightly and is only inviting more tragedy when it comes to illegal immigrants who have repeatedly committed serious crimes.

"It's a hazardous law for Californians and people sworn to protect and serve Californians and we would like to see it changed," Bill Brown, the sheriff for Santa Barbara County who serves as president of the California State Sheriffs Association, told the Washington Free Beacon.

"I hope next year we can be catalysts for some type of legislative fix," he added, giving credit to Gov. Jerry Brown for late modifications to the bill in response to law enforcement concern.
