California may make its unofficial dispute with the federal government on immigration a lot closer to official. That state’s Senate Bill 54 would move California in the direction of being a so-called “Sanctuary State.”

The Senate has approved the bill, but the Assembly may not. We talked more about California’s proposed legislation as part of our regular check-in with the Editorial Board at The Arizona Republic.
Our guest was Phil Boas, director of The Republic’s Editorial Department.
