Congress speculates YouTube shooter was an illegal immigrant

-
A California Congressman on Tuesday speculated that the shooter at the YouTube headquarters in San Bruno could be an "illegal immigrant". "Would anyone be surprised? We have a state government in California that's trying to prevent our law enforcement people from working with the federal law enforcement people to get together the criminal illegal aliens, to deal with criminal illegal aliens". The shooter was later identified as a white adult woman who died at the scene. Her immigration status was not immediately disclosed.

A Conservative stalwart it says in the article tried to draw a line between the gunfire at YouTube headquarters near San Francisco and sanctuary cities (sanctuary cities are communities that do not fully cooperate with feds to enforce immigration laws).

The agency said that they will detain pregnant women "whose detention is necessary to effectuate removal, as well as those deemed a flight risk or danger to the community". It also said that pregnant women during their third trimester "absent e

California is trying to push back against the Trump administrations efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. California's attorney general, Xavier Becerra and 18 other state attorneys general registered their opposition to the question. The justice department had asked the Census Bureau to include a citizenship question on the new census and Becerra disagrees. Becerra believes that the department is wrong when it argues that the addition would be "critical to the department's enforcement of section 2 of the Voting Rights Act." Berea and others wrote in a letter to the U.S. Commerce Secretary that the question would violate the U.S. Census Bureau obligations under the constitution because it requires "counting the whole number of persons in each state," not just citizens. The California Department of Justice is putting Trump on notice. The notice is that if the citizenship question is added to the 2020 census, then California is prepared to t
