The Huntington Beach City Council unanimously declared itself a "non-sanctuary city" for undocumented immigrants in a unanimous vote on Tuesday, signaling its alignment with President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
The decision, enacted through Resolution No. 2025-01, prioritizes cooperation with federal immigration authorities, challenging California's sanctuary state law, known as SB 54, which restricts local and state resources from being used to assist federal immigration enforcement.
