Law enforcement say a veto by Governor Brown of a immigration bill in California is a good thing. Sheriff Royal says AB 1081 would have restricted law enforcement from telling the federal authorities about a illegal immigrant in local custody. The Sheriff says federal law requires the sheriff to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of the immigration status of a person illegally in this state.

Sheriff Royal says with Governor Brown’s veto of the bill on Sunday it stopped a conflict between federal and local law enforcement.
