#SB54
SANCTUARY STATE
SIGNED BY GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN ON OCTOBER 5, 2017
KEY TAKEAWAY: ENGAGEMENT MATTERS
Senate Bill 54, authored by Senate President pro Tem Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, and
commonly referred to as the “Sanctuary State” bill, emerged as a signature piece of legislation
that symbolized the Democratic majority’s intent to push back against the Trump
Administration’s immigration policies.
SB 54 passed on the last day of session and was sent to Governor Jerry Brown, who signed
it after describing it as a balanced approach that protects both immigrant rights and public
safety.
While the measure drew strong opposition from law enforcement, there was little third-party
opposition to the measure on Twitter, which we believe contributed to the proponents’
momentum to pass the bill during End-of-Session. Proponents of the measure executed
several successful strategies, outlined below.
