-In California, Democrats have long debated where to draw the line on protecting immigrants from deportations.

Eight years ago, California Democrats adopted sanctuary policies to guard against President Donald Trump's deportation plans.

Now, Democratic leaders have taken on a softer tone.

Their reluctance comes as Trump returns to the White House more determined and experienced to fulfill his campaign promises.

He has pledged to carry out the "largest deportation operation in American history".

He has also threatened to withhold funding from sanctuary cities and states and prosecute local officials who declined to help federal authorities carry out deportations at a time when the January wildfires made California more dependent on federal aid for disaster recovery.

Sanctuary policies generally prohibit the use of local or state government resources to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

In 2017, California passed a sanctuary state law.

Democrats split over the bill, with some lawmakers supporting the exclusion of people convicted of certain crimes from the state's protection.

"Rhetoric distinguishing criminals from 'law-abiding residents' could risk stigmatizing the already vulnerable undocumented immigrant community," said Andrea Guerrero, executive director of advocacy group, Alliance San Diego.

"Regardless of their criminal records," she argued, "they enjoy Fourth Amendment protections from unreasonable searches and seizures from the government."

-It's divisive politics, and it's feeding into stereotypes.

More than anything, it's creating this idea that there are people worthy of constitutional protections, and there are people who are not worthy.

The second we go down that road, we're weakening the strength of that document and the strength of our democracy.
