Support State Senate Bill 417, requiring local law enforcement to work with the feds on “immigration holds”

Poway RogerPoway Roger 1 Comment

California Senate Bill 417 would require law enforcement officials to cooperate with federal immigration officials by detaining an individual on the basis of an immigration hold, with certain limitations, when that person has been convicted of a serious or violent felony. It makes sense. We will hear that it will break up families. Maybe so, but have we forgotten about …

In the 50th Dem Primary Francine Busby was selected as the Democrat nominee to lose to Brian Bilbray once more. I don’t think Busby was celebrating her victory, I searched for police reports and …

As a follow-up to Marion Ashley’s guest commentary, I am happy that the Riverside chairman of the Board of Supervisors is so passionate about helping organizations in the community.  I hope he will become a better advocate of taxpayer funds and ask his colleague Jeff Stone some tough questions.

Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone has taken the use of taxpayer …
