BREAKING NEWS:

Following through on a vow last month that he would move to stop his city from being a sanctuary for illegal immigration, Mayor Allan Mansoor plans to ask his fellow City Council members tonight to support a resolution declaring Costa Mesa a “Rule of Law City,” according to a city staff report.

At a press conference in April, Mansoor called for stricter regulations to catch illegal immigrants living, working and driving in the city. Among his points of discussion then were exploring why police at times accept the “Matricula Consular,” a form of identification issued by the Mexican government, as a valid form of verification.

“The purpose is to set the tone for a strong policy, and, as I mentioned, in the future I do want to bring somethings forward for discussion for possible future implementation,” Mansoor said about tonight’s resolution.
