President Trump thanked San Diego County Thursday for supporting the Trump administration’s lawsuit against California’s new “sanctuary state” law.

“Thank you San Diego County for defending the rule of law and supporting our lawsuit against California's illegal and unconstitutional 'Sanctuary' policies," Trump tweeted Thursday. "California's dangerous policies release violent criminals back into our communities, putting all Americans at risk.”

The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 3-1 Tuesday to support the Trump administration’s lawsuit against California’s so-called “sanctuary state” policies.

The recent California state legislation, backed by Gov. Jerry Brown, D-Calif., prevents business owners and local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement.
