California town with large migrant population might revoke sanctuary status | 17 Jan 2025 | A southern California town with a large migrant population is considering a motion that would revoke the city’s sanctuary city status, prompting backlash from residents. The motion, debated in San Diego’s El Cajon City Council this week, would also assist federal immigration authorities in their deportation efforts “to the maximum legal extent permissible.” President-elect Donald Trump has announced his intent to enact a multi-billion dollar mass deportation plan. City council members discussed “the possibility of declaring the City of El Cajon as a non-sanctuary city,” according to minutes from the meeting.
