Between Aug. 11 and Aug. 26, Survey Sampling International
conducted the poll on behalf of UC Berkeley, sampling 1,098
respondents. Of those polled, 74 percent said local authorities should
not be allowed to ignore federal detainer requests. The other 26 percent
supported the sanctuary city policy of preventing local police and
sheriff’s officials from honoring immigration holds.
The poll results indicate Californians across the
political spectrum and among all major ethnic groups oppose sanctuary
city policies. The policy of ignoring federal detainer requests was
opposed by 73 percent of Democrats, 82 percent of Republicans and 71
percent of independents, according to UC Berkley.
Additionally, 65 percent of Latinos, 75 percent of Asian
and African Americans and 80 percent of whites opposed sanctuary city
policies.
