undermining public safety and forcing immigration agents into costly, time-consuming street arrests instead of taking custody of criminal undocumented immigrants directly from jails, according to a top law enforcement official.<\/p>\n<p>US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said sanctuary policies have dismantled what he described as a once-cooperative system that kept higher-risk individuals from returning to the streets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe entire state of California is a sanctuary now, by state law,\u201d Essayli told The California Post.<\/p>\n<figure

described as a once-cooperative system <span class=\"credit\">Carlin Stiehl for CA Post<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That escalating concern has fueled an enforcement push dubbed Operation Guardian Angel, a coordinated federal initiative targeting deportable individuals in county custody before they\u2019re released back into the community.<\/p>\n<p>The operation, announced last year by the US Attorney\u2019s Office for the Central District of California, brings together ICE, the FBI, the DEA, the US Marshals Service, and other federal agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Officials say the goal is to identify criminal undocumented immigrants in local jails, secure federal arrest warrants ahead of release, and prevent what they describe as avoidable street-level apprehensions once individuals re-enter public life.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter

history.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Task forces typically begin reviewing county jail bookings across the state in the early morning hours, often around 3 a.m., cross-checking fingerprints against federal databases in near real time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__inline-module inline-module inline-module--newsletter aligncenter inline-module--nypostbusinessunit aligncenter

custody before release from local detention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis program only works, if we know who they are,\u201d Essayli said.<\/p>\n<p>First-time offenders in non-state prisons can easily slip back into the community under current state laws.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>A U.S. Customs and Border Protection\u00a0agent. <span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Essayli added that the financial burden of bypassing sanctuary policies could ultimately reach \u201chundreds of million, if not, billions,\u201d when accounting for enforcement costs and broader impacts.<\/p>\n<p>He said that under previous practices, immigration detainers allowed jail inmates to be transferred directly into federal custody after their local cases concluded, avoiding the need for post-release enforcement operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrior to these laws, we would work cooperatively with local police and jails and so when an illegal immigrant was arrested or charged or convicted they would work with immigration officials to place detainers on them and then once they\u2019re done with their local or state proceedings they would be handed over to immigration for deportation,\u201d Essayli said.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2

they have been released into communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlue states think they\u2019re protecting illegal immigrants, but they\u2019re just making things worse on them,\u201d he said. \u201cInstead of just being deported, they\u2019re going to have a felony.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Essayli also pointed to what he described as a structural split between state prisons and county jails.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a loophole in that prisoners in the state prison, which is run by the governor, (Newsom) has the discretion on whether to hand someone over to ICE or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>\u00a0Newsom gives remarks at the Center for American Progress Ideas Conference. <span class=\"credit\">REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He said Gov. Gavin Newsom retains discretion over transfers from state prisons, while sheriffs and police chiefs are restricted at the county level.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll hear Newsom often say \u2018we\u2019re not a sanctuary state, we handed over 3,000 felons,\u2019 that is for political cover so he can hand over literally the worst of the worst. He has the discretion to hand (all of) them over, but the sheriffs, the police chiefs have zero discretion, they\u2019re not allowed to, the governor can do it if he wants to, that\u2019s the state of the law in California.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Essayli noted that most offenders never reach state prison custody.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBasically, you don\u2019t go to state prison unless you murder someone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that offenses such as theft, DUI, and domestic violence are typically handled at the county level, where federal transfer options are more limited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to wait until an illegal immigrant commits a murder, we want to deport them before that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a recent and tragic instance, a deportable individual released due to non-cooperation state policies went on to murder two women and an infant.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
