President Trump invited Los Alamitos Mayor Troy Edgar and Councilman Warren Kusumoto to a meeting at the White House next Wednesday to discuss the states sanctuary laws.

Edgar and Kusumoto are part of a group of officials invited to sit down with Trump for a talk about the states laws and a growing anti-sanctuary pushback.

“Warren and I are very honored to get this invitation. Its incredible to have this opportunity,” Edgar said Friday.

“The president asked us to provide stories and an update on whats going on the ground, and consider suggesting what they can do to help us further,” Edgar said.

Los Alamitos recent vote to exempt itself from the California Values Act, which limits cooperation between local and state law enforcement with federal immigration officials, launched a broader anti-sanctuary movement. Elected officials in more than 30 cities and three counties have voted to oppose the law since Los Alamitos initial action March 19.

Also attending will be Escondido Mayor Sam Abed and San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Kristin Gaspar, Edgar said.
