California Allegedly Threatens Police Officers Over Deportation Compliance


CA mayor: The State of California “is threatening to take pensions and charge police officers with felonies if they comply with federal deportation laws.”



Bill Wells, the mayor of El Cajon, California, claimed in a Monday post on X that the State of California “is threatening to take pensions and charge police officers with felonies if they comply with federal deportation laws. While the Trump administration is working to enforce immigration laws, California seems intent on blocking these efforts.”

Wells makes it clear that El Cajon, a city of approximately 100,000 people located 17 miles east of San Diego, is not a sanctuary city and that his police officers “are being put in an impossible position.” He wrote:

If they comply with federal immigration authorities, they risk felony charges and losing their hard-earned pensions.


This is unacceptable. No officer should have to choose between doing their duty and jeopardizing their future.

As Mayor of El Cajon, I’m doing everything in my power to protect our officers and stand against these dangerous policies.

If these disturbing claims are true, then the battle lines are already drawn for the first major showdown between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and sanctuary state/city leaders. Defiance of this magnitude from the government of the largest sanctuary state in the country would have sweeping implications for President-elect Donald Trump’s planned mass deportation agenda.
