The state assembly public safety committee yesterday voted five to two against "Sara's Law," AB 1882.
Sara's Law is aimed at deporting illegal immigrants who commit drunken driving offenses.

It was named after Sara Cole, the Los Gatos mother who was seriously injured last year when she was run down by Lucio Rodriguez, a repeat drunken driver.

Rodriguez, who is an illegal immigrant, is now serving a five-year sentence in state prison. The bill's sponsor, Assemblyman Martin Garrick of San Diego, says he will re-introduce Sara's Law next year.
