Sanctuary jurisdictions in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara counties

June 3, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Friday released a list of states, cities and counties it claims are defying federal immigration laws. The list identifies three jurisdictions in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties.

On April 28, President Trump signed an executive order requiring Homeland Security and the attorney general to publish a list of jurisdictions allegedly obstructing federal immigration enforcement and then notify governments on the list. Areas that continue operating as sanctuary jurisdictions risk losing some federal funding.

The “Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall pursue all necessary legal remedies and enforcement measures to end these violations and bring such jurisdictions into compliance with the laws of the United States,” according to Trump’s executive order.

Sanctuary jurisdictions listed in SLO and Santa Barbara counties:

  • San Luis Obispo
  • San Luis Obispo County
  • Santa Barbara County

Raiding Home Depot in LA? The director of ICE should be fired.

Everyone knows the immigrant criminals and pedophiles are at Mar a Lago.

Damn it ICE do your job!!

It can be summed up by the daughter of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne. On the TV show “The View,” she declared, “if you kick all the Latinos out of America, who will clean the toilets?” Sanctuary cities exist because the “Elites” need and want the labor.

In support of BigBlueMarble’s comment; this from Heather Cox Richardson “Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem took down her list of “sanctuary cities” she said weren’t cooperating with federal immigration authorities after the National Sheriffs’ Association demanded an apology”

Declaring a sanctuary state has costs to it… so if you are losing your government job or you work for the county and your agency is closing or you are watching CASA lose funding… you may be able to blame it on this…

Recent information suggests that California is estimated to spend $9.5 billion to provide Medi-Cal (California’s Medicaid program) coverage for undocumented immigrants in Fiscal Year 2024-2025

Some estimate nearly half of the migrants who crossed the border the last 5 years made a Beeline for California… Can’t really blame them… free healthcare!!! Great weather!!!

$9.5 billion represents about 2% of California’s budget. Doesn’t seem like much to pay for their work, considering about 95% of them have jobs. And considering they pay about $50 billion in state taxes and over $90 billion in federal taxes each year. Besides, who will screw in all those tiny screws for the iPhones we’ll soon be making here?

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem:

“sanctuary city politicians are endangering Americans and our law enforcement in order to protect violent criminal illegal aliens”

This list was created at least 6 days ago, and within 3 days it was yanked down and has yet to reappear. So many cities and counties reported that the list was erroneous when it came to their designation.


While “elections have consequences”, our government has a responsibility to create factual, transparent and unbiased information being disseminated.

Elections have consequences. That is until the opposition ties everything up in court.

When 95% of cases one brings to court are lost… who’s tying up who’s time exactly?

the authenticity of elections are debatable, however.
