YCT Yea.
SB 4 would prevent local entities from creating laws that interfere with federal immigration policy. The law makes it clear that a police officer cannot conduct a search in the enforcement of immigration laws, unless the officer is conducting the search at the behest of the federal government. YCT believes that the rule of law is a hallmark of civil society and an important pillar of our form of government. SB 4 works to continue protecting this value in our society.
