Kevin Johnson comments on Gov. Brown calling Trump administration lawsuit 'war', insists it ‘will not stand’, featured in Calmatters. A day after the Trump administration sued California over its new “sanctuary” laws, state officials pushed back hard, with Gov. Jerry Brown calling the move tantamount to “war.” Brown said “This is completely unprecedented, for the chief of law enforcement in the United States to come out here and engage in a political stunt, make wild accusations, many of which are based on outright lies,”
Kevin comments "Washington will have to show that the state’s new laws infringe on its ability to enforce immigration rules, which may be hard to do."
