SB 54 faces opposition from sheriffs across Southern California

They argue raids would erode trust and hinder cooperation with police. Orange Riverside San Bernardino sheriffs echo concerns citing conflicts with federal law and public safety risks. Local chiefs and agencies vary in stance while some support targeted deportations. News staff contributed to the report.
