Governor Responds To Sessions Immigration Lawsuit: “Basically Going To War”

“This is basically going to war against the state of California.”

Governor Brown says Jeff Sessions’ claim that California’s laws are endangering the public is a lie. 

“Simply, not true. And I call upon him to apologize to the people of California, to bringing the mendacity of Washington to California and trying to insert discord and division.”

Sessions announced a lawsuit filed against the state for laws passed last year that he says prevents federal immigration agents from doing their job. A claim the governor denies.
