It took three tries, but the city of El Cajon finally has voted to comply with requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
The El Cajon City Council passed a resolution asserting the city’s intent to support the Trump administration’s deportation efforts 3-2 Tuesday afternoon amid a packed room filled with critics and some supporters.
Councilmember Steve Goble, who was once again the swing vote, voted in favor of the revised resolution this time, because it asks the U.S. Attorney General to protect El Cajon police officers if they help or cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
“It’s the step we need to take to keep the city safe. When we arrest a dangerous person, we want everything at our disposal to get them out of the community. That may mean calling ICE,” Mayor Bill Wells said.
He added that he has to figure out a way to get around a state law that prohibits cities from turning anyone over to federal immigration authorities unless they have been convicted in court of certain felony crimes.
City leaders say they are waiting for clarity from the state and U.S. Attorney’s office on the potential conflicts of whether federal or state law should take precedence.
