law enforcement: State officials removed a sign Tuesday on the Arizona line and another Monday near the Nevada border, Department of Transportation spokesman Mark Dinger said, according to Metro News. The signs take aim at California's sanctuary state law that kicked in Jan. 1 and provides greater protections for immigrants living in the state illegally. Drivers heading to California saw fake signs decrying a new immigration policy on at least two highways, welcoming them to an official sanctuary state that's home to felons and gang members. It limits co-operation between local law enforcement and U.S. immigration authorities. The measure was widely backed by Democrats. The law bars police from asking people about their immigration status, but jail officials can work with federal authorities in some cases.
