mistake/

The Department of Homeland Security recently listed Huntington Beach as a sanctuary city, and officials within one of SoCal�s most prominent
Republican strongholds are strongly denying the designation.

A press release issued by the City of Huntington Beach states that the community�s inclusion on the DHS list of more than 500 sanctuary
jurisdictions was a �serious mistake� and �does not reflect the city
council�s formally adopted policy.�

In January 2025, the city passed a law that did the exact opposite of what federal officials did in the list issued on Thursday: Huntington Beach is officially a �non-sanctuary city.�

�We adopted a formal policy on this,� Huntington Beach Mayor Pat Burns
said in the press release, which was issued Friday. �It went before the council, and we unanimously agreed that Huntington Beach is not a
sanctuary city.�

�We took deliberate action to make our non-sanctuary stance clear,� Mayor
Burns added.

Burns elaborated that the DHS� inclusion of his city in the list is
�either a misprint or a serious mistake,� and that federal officials have
been notified; he is also �confident the DHS error will be corrected
promptly.�

However, as of Saturday morning, Huntington Beach still appeared on the
list.

The city�s press release noted that several other jurisdictions across the U.S., including Baltimore, Las Vegas and Shasta County, California, have
been misidentified as sanctuary jurisdictions. Mayor Burns said that Santa
Ana is the only city within Orange County that has been �publicly
identified� as a sanctuary city; however, it was not included in the DHS
list.

Santa Ana was still not on the list as of Saturday morning.

Huntington Beach has long been considered one of California�s most
conservative cities; the Wall Street Journal described the city council,
which, as of December, is made up entirely of Republicans, as �America�s Trumpiest.�

Earlier this year, the city council introduced plans to install a �MAGA�
plaque at the Central Library to celebrate Huntington Beach�s 50th
anniversary. Instead of signifying �Make America Great Again,� the
plaque�s acronym stands for �Magical, Alluring, Galvanizing, Adventurous.�

The city council confirmed that the acronym was deliberately chosen to represent the �Make America Great Again� slogan used by President Donald
Trump and adopted by the Republican Party.

After some pushback from residents � including former NFL punter Chris
Kluwe, who was arrested while protesting at a February city council
meeting � officials unanimously approved the $7,000 plaque, albeit with a slightly modified design and added security.


--
November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
