The bills, signed by the state’s Governor Jerry Brown, inherently defy the hard-line taken by Donald Trump that attempt to solve the country’s issues of immigration.
Mr Brown said: “These are uncertain times for undocumented Californians and their families, and this bill strikes a balance that will protect public safety while bringing a measure of comfort to those families who are now living in fear every day.
“This action protects public safety and ensures hard-working people who contribute to our state are respected.”
The legislation, that was approved last month and will be enforced from January, limits law enforcement officials from helping federal immigration authorities round up and deal with illegal immigrants.
Law enforcement officers will also be unable to detain an illegal immigrant on a hold request from the federal government unless a felony or warrant is involved.
US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has displayed his protest against the new bills that will ensure that 2.6million illegal immigrants stay in the state by labelling them “sanctuary jurisdictions”.
He added: “Sanctuary policies endanger us all, and especially the federal immigration officers who are forced to pursue criminal aliens outside of jails and prisons.”
The bills, that limit the effectiveness of law enforcement officers, were addressed by White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders who stated that Washington is “spending every day we can trying to find the best way forward”.
Sanders continued: “The President will be laying out his responsible immigration plan over the next week.
“And I hope that California will push back on their Governor’s, I think, irresponsible decision moving forward.”
California has long been a rebellious state that goes against the will of the President – the state was the first to legalise medical marijuana in 1996.
Donald Trump is famous for his firm stance on immigration with his promises to construct a wall between the US and Mexico being one of his most prominent policies on the campaign trail.
Contractors are currently at work on eight prototypes for the wall that will severely inhibit the number of illegal immigrants crossing America’s southern border.
Once constructed, the US Customs and Border Protection will decide which of the prototypes, if any, it wishes to use on the barrier.
Donald Trump stated his intention for the wall to be see-through, indicating that traditional concrete designs would be shunned.
Trump has previously reiterated that Mexico will pay for the construction of the wall.
The President tweeted: “With Mexico being one of the highest crime Nations in the world, we must have the wall. Mexico will pay for it through reimbursement/other.”
