Aug. 5 (UPI) -- California Gov. Jerry Brown said he would support his state suing the federal government over the Trump administration's threat to withhold grant money from so-called "sanctuary cities" that do not comply with federal immigration policy.
Brown, speaking in an interview to be aired Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press, said legislation being considered in the California Legislature would not make it the nation's first "sanctuary state." Instead, he said the legislation, which he has not decided whether to support, would prevent law enforcement in California from abetting "abuse of federal power."
