California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) on Tuesday night bashed the Trump administration’s plans to sue his state over its immigration laws, calling it a "political stunt."

Sessions will reportedly announce the lawsuit on Wednesday at the 26th Annual Law Enforcement Legislative Day hosted by the California Peace Officers’ Association in Sacramento.

The suit aims to block three so-called sanctuary laws California's legislature passed last year in response to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement measures. Sanctuary cities encourage local police officers not to enforce federal immigration law.

California has emerged as a fierce opponent of the Trump administration's immigration policies. Brown last year pardoned two men who were set to be deported days later.
