WEST COVINA >> Several local public officials on Wednesday came out against the "sanctuary state" bill making its way through the State Capitol, saying the legislation would free violent felons similar to the ones they've seen in their own cities recently.
The bill, SB 54, introduced by Senate President pro Tem Kevin de Le#xf3;n, D-Los Angeles, would prohibit state and local law enforcement agencies from using resources to investigate, detain, report or arrest persons for the purposes of immigration enforcement.
