CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR SIGNS SANCTUARY STATE BILL

- Staff and wire reports

California Gov. Jerry Brown signed sanctuary state legislatio­n Thursday that extends protection­s for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, a move that gives the nation’s most populous state another tool to fight President Trump.

Brown’s signature means police will be barred from asking people about their immigratio­n status or participat­ing in federal immigratio­n enforcemen­t activities starting Jan. 1.

The Trump administra­tion said the sanctuary state bill will make California more dangerous.
