MCFARLAND TO SANCTIFY?

The mayor of McFarland says he is wiling to consider his town becoming the first “sanctuary city” in Kern County.

Manuel Cantu was recently asked at a community forum if he would be willing to not cooperate with federal agents in deporting immigrants, but said he believes some of the responsibility is south of the border.

Cantu wants to know more about the legal issues of being a sanctuary city before going forward.
