Councilmember Whitaker stated that the City of Orange is a welcoming City to all its
residents, but the City is also one that supports the rule of law. The issue with SB 54 is
with the three provisions that prevents local law enforcement from communicating to
federal law enforcement. Councilmember Whitaker suggested adding clarifying language
to the resolve of the proposed Resolution prepared by the City Attorney's office as follows:
"that the City of Orange will respectfully stay compliance with the sections of SB 54,
commonly known as the Sanctuary State Law, challenged in the United States ofAmerica
v. State of California case until it is fully and finally decided by the judiciary and the City
Attorney is directed to file an amicus curiae brief on behalf of the City of Orange supporting
the position of the United States of America, as allowed by law in any current or future
proceedings." He explained that the resolution is dealing with public safety and the conflict
of laws.
Mayor pro tem Murphy supports the revisions to the Resolution as suggested by
Councilmember Whitaker. He stated that the City needs to clarify what its position is,
especially given the sections within SB 54 that have created potential conflict between state
and federal laws.

better avenue to let the State know that the City does not like the position it has been put
in with the passing of SB 54. He does not want the City of Orange to be a sanctuary City,
but he cannot support anything that will divide the community.
Mayor Smith stated she is not in favor of approving the Resolution. She thinks it
undermines the atmosphere of trust and inclusion the Orange community values and
defends.
