California has become a "sanctuary state" in order to protect its immigrants from the Trump administration.

Governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill significantly limiting the state’s cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

It is estimated that 65 percent of all deportations result from cooperation between state and local law enforcement and federal officers.

This has continued the liberal state's moves to defy Donald Trump and his policies on immigrants.

California has more illegal immigrants than any other US state, but officials including Senator Kamala Harris have been outspoken in their pledge to prevent deportations.
