Oroville, a town of almost 20,000 in Butte County, declared itself a “non-sanctuary city” this week in a City Council resolution that pledged “full cooperation” with federal law enforcement but that officials said stopped short of flouting the state’s sanctuary law.

The city of Oroville in Northern California's Butte County decided to veer from the state's sanctuary law, in what is seen as a largely symbolic move.
