# Blue state county faces backlash after failed vote to scrap 'super sanctuary' policy: 'Fringe Democrats'

### Immigration
### 'Mark these words: Sanctuary policies are going away,' Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., told Fox News Digital

San Diego County’s "super sanctuary" policy will remain in place for now following a failed vote to scrap it from Republican county officials.

"It is deeply disappointing," Republican Supervisor Jim Desmond said in a statement. "This was not about politics. This was about ensuring that criminals—rapists, child abusers, burglars, and violent offenders—are removed from our communities. Instead, fear and misinformation won the day, leaving law-abiding residents at greater risk."

This is deeply disappointing," Republican Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe said during the meeting before voting "no." Her Democratic colleague, Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer, abstained.

The move comes as immigration and border policies changes have had a sweeping impact, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to conduct raids around the country and border crossings have plummeted.

In addition, Trump border czar Tom Homan has been a vocal opponent of governments with sanctuary city policies.

There is currently one vacancy on the board left open by former Chair Nora Vargas, who exited her position just weeks after putting forth the policy, according to KPBS.
