A sheriff’s office in California announced it will publicly publish the scheduled release dates for inmates in the latest pushback against the state’s controversial “sanctuary” law.

Local and state agencies may not be allowed to communicate the release date for illegal immigrants to federal immigration authorities, under the sanctuary law, known as the California Values Act.
