California Democrats face accusations that sanctuary policies hinder local police from conducting welfare checks on unaccompanied migrant children flagged by federal authorities.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta warned that cooperating with federal immigration information could violate SB 54, but city officials claim they seek only to ensure children's safety, not act as immigration agents.
