President Trump on Wednesday said his administration “stands in solidarity” with a California county pushing back against the state’s policies offering ‘sanctuary’ to illegal immigrants.

Orange County has become the center of national attention after it announced a series of measures to push back against a controversial law that limits cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

On Tuesday the county’s board of supervisors voted to join a lawsuit from the Department of Justice fighting policies that the administration says interfere with federal immigration policies. On Monday, the sheriff’s department announced that it would be publishing the release dates of inmates as a way to improve cooperation with federal authorities.

On Wednesday, Trump announced that the administration stood “in solidarity” with what the county was doing.
 

….release known dangerous criminals into communities across the State. All citizens have the right to be protected by Federal law and strong borders.
