Sanctuary Cities Television Ad Campaign

CAPS launched a new television campaign highlighting the effects of Sanctuary Cities. The TV spots ask Californians to express their opinions about Sanctuary City policies in force, formally or informally, in many cities across the state. Characterized by a history of controversy, Sanctuary Cities have recently come under fire again as a result of murders allegedly perpetrated by illegal aliens with long criminal histories who could have been deported if such policies had not been in place. In Sanctuary Cities, police officers are prohibited from asking immigration status, often even after a suspect has been arrested. The result is convicted criminal illegal aliens are too often put back on the streets instead of being deported. Though Sanctuary City policies violate state and federal laws, several California Mayors have defended the policy including Gavin Newsom of San Francisco, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles and Mayor Jerry Sanders of San Diego.
