  30. B. APPROVAL OF WARRANT RESOLUTIONS
  31. 25 Police Chief Kling stated in 2017 the State of California passed a law, SB54, which completely restricts law enforcement to utilize personnel or any type of resources in aiding the Federal government in immigration enforcement. The only time a police department would be involved is in the event Federal officers are being assaulted and the police will only try to restore the peace and make sure people are not getting hurt. The Federal government, immigration enforcement does not nor will they share with any local law enforcement their operations, when or what they are doing in a particular city or who they are after. There is no cooperation between Federal, State and Local law enforcements, specifically because of SB54. Local law enforcement does not have the jurisdiction to make a safe zone around the school. They are under the Federal umbrella, so they cannot overstep their bounds. This isn't the Rialto Police Dept. supporting the actions of the individuals, and they understand how disruptive it is.
