The sudden and tragic murder of California policeman Corporal Ronil Singh has reignited a fierce debate over sanctuary laws in the state.

Newman police officer Singh, 33, was shot dead on Wednesday morning, just after Christmas, by suspect Gustavo Perez Arriaga after he was pulled over on suspicion of driving under the influence.

After a massive two-day manhunt led by multiple local law enforcement agencies, Arriaga, a 32-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico, was finally arrested on Friday in Bakersfield, California.

He was caught as he was trying to flee back to his native country.

Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson led the investigation and blamed California's sanctuary law for preventing local authorities from reporting Arriaga to immigration officials in the past.

Arriaga had two previous drunken driving arrests, but was never reported to ICE as a result of California's sanctuary law, which limits cooperation between local authorities and U.S. immigration officials.

The law includes more than 800 exceptions for violent crimes and felonies and bars police from asking people about their citizenship status.

.

He also asked why the state was 'providing sanctuary for criminals (and) gang members. It's a conversation we need to have.'

'This is a criminal illegal alien with prior criminal activity that should have been reported to ICE. Law enforcement was prohibited because of sanctuary laws and that led to the encounter with officer Singh,' Christianson said.

'I'm suggesting that the outcome could have been different if law enforcement wasn't restricted, prohibited or had their hand ties due to political interference,' he added.

The devastating shooting has intensified the political fight over immigration.

President Donald Trump took to Twitter after the tragic murder to rally once again for a wall to be built at the U.S.-Mexico border.

'There is right now a full scale manhunt going on in California for an illegal immigrant accused of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop. Time to get tough on Border Security. Build the Wall!' he tweeted.

Trump saw the government descend into a partial shutdown just before Christmas after refusing to sign off on a financial budget that didn't allocate a whopping $5billion to building the border wall.

Christianson said that Arriaga had entered the U.S. by crossing the border in Arizona several years ago and held a variety of farm larborer jobs.

He was affiliated with the Mexican-American street gang Sureños and had two previous DUI arrests.

He also had multiple Facebook pages under different aliases.

California Governor Jerry Brown has said the law strikes a balance between protecting families and ensuring consequences for serious criminals. His spokesman said Friday that if the suspect was a known gang member, police could have informed federal authorities.

'California law fully permits the sharing of information on dangerous gang members,' spokesman Evan Westrup said.

Former state Senator Kevin de Leon, the Democrat who wrote the legislation, said it's 'highly irresponsible' to blame the law for the officer's death.

'The type of tone and attitude that Sheriff Christianson has taken instills fear and panic in all immigrant communities' that could make people afraid to report crimes, de Leon told KNX-AM radio in Los Angeles.

Seven other people have also been arrested for helping Arriaga evade police capture.

They include Perez Arriaga's brothers, 25-year-old Adrian Virgen and 34-year-old Conrado Virgen Mendoza; his girlfriend, 30-year-old Ana Leyde Cervantes; and a co-worker, 27-year-old Erik Razo Quiroz, authorities said. Three people were arrested at the home near Bakersfield.

All are accused of helping Perez Arriaga, who's expected to be arraigned on charges Wednesday, authorities said.

Singh, 33, was also an immigrant, who came legally from his native Fiji to fulfill his dream of becoming an officer, authorities said.

He lived in Modesto, Northern California with his wife Anamika and their five-month old son. He had been with the Newman police force for seven years, joining it in 2011.

Newman Police Chief Randy Richardson called him a patriot.

'This is a man that loved his country. This is a man that worked hard for what he believed in. He believed in this community,' the chief said at a community vigil Friday night honoring Singh.

Hundreds of residents, friends, relatives and fellow officers attended the candlelight memorial, where many cried and some spoke emotionally about the officer.

'Ronil loved his job,' said Reggie Singh, holding his brother's 5-month-old son.

Singh's wife, son, and K-9 partner led the vigil that saw the community gather at the Newman Downtown Plaza and place white and blue flowers and ribbons around the police station.

Ronil loved his job and the people of Newman,' Singh's grieving brother Reggie said

Arriaga was arrested on Friday in Bakersfield, California, about 200 miles southeast of where he shot Singh on Wednesday

Singh stopped Arriaga on suspicion of driving drunk and because the suspect's gray Dodge pickup truck had no license plate just before 1am on December 26

S.through Arizona several years ago and worked as a farm laborer.He was also a part of the notoriously violent Sureños street gang

Sheriff Christianson added that Arriaga had two previous drunk driving arrests.He blamed California's sanctuary law for preventing local cops from reporting Arriaga to immigration officers

'We can't ignore the fact that this could have been preventable,' Christianson said during a Friday press conference

California's sanctuary law limits the cooperation between local police and federal immigration officers Cops have also arrested a total of eight other suspects for helping Arriaga evade police

Arriaga's brother Adrian Virgen, 25, and co-worker Erik Razo Quiroz, 32, were arrested on Thursday for allegedly helping Arriaga escape police on charges of accessory after the fact to a felony

'We had them in custody (Thursday) and asked for their cooperation and they lied to us,' Sheriff Christianson said at a Friday press conference

Sheriff Suspect in California police officer killing was fleeing to Mexico

SAN FRANCISCO AP By OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ and JOCELYN GECKERAssociated Press

Authorities say the man suspected of gunning down a California policeman has been arrested while preparing to flee to his native Mexico.

A two day statewide manhunt ended Friday with the arrest of Gustavo Perez Arriaga at a Bakersfield, California, home. Hes expected to be charged with killing Cpl. Ronil Singh, a 33 year old Newman police officer who was shot after stopping a suspected drunken driver in the tiny San Joaquin Valley town.

The case inflamed the debate over immigration because authorities say Perez Arriaga had crossed into the U.S. illegally.

At a news conference, Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson argued that the slaying could have been prevented if Californias sanctuary law hadnt prevented local authorities from reporting Perez Arriaga who had gang affiliations to immigration officials after two previous DUI arrests.

But a spokesman for Gov. Jerry Brown says the law permits sharing information on dangerous gang members with federal authorities.

These California beaches have long been off-limits. But public outrage is changing the tide - Duration: 15:42.

Behind the exclusive gates of Hollister Ranch are some of California's most-coveted beaches and surf breaks

Few have had the chance to visit them.  But earlier this month, after decades of pushback and stalemates, state officials passed through these gates with the cooperation of the ranch's powerful landowners

For the first time in years, they traversed the pristine 8.5-mile shoreline to establish initial boundaries that could be used for an ambitious public access program

Advertisement >  It's one of many milestones this year in the escalating fight to open California's coast to everyone

An all-out legal battle over Martins Beach near Half Moon Bay culminated with the nation's highest court rejecting a Silicon Valley billionaire's appeal to lock the gate on his terms

A Santa Cruz neighborhood that for decades has charged a fee recently agreed, under state pressure, to open its beach for free

 And though beach access at Hollister Ranch remains limited to landowners, select visitors and those strong enough to paddle in, coastal officials have declared they will find a way to open up this stretch of Santa Barbara County coastline once and for all

 The California Coastal Act proclaimed in 1976 that the beach is for everyone — not just for those fortunate enough to own an oceanfront home

The state over the years has chipped away at locked gates, private roads and neighborhoods that try to keep out the public

What's left are access battles against those with the means to fight back in court in perpetuity

 "This is a long game that over the last 40 years has gotten over a thousand points of public access, and we're actually down to a handful of holdout cases: Hollister Ranch, Martins Beach," said Coastal Commissioner Aaron Peskin, who urged the public to keep the pressure on not only the commission but also incoming Gov

Gavin Newsom and new coastal appointees.  "The time is right, so strike and make progress

" Read more: There are more than 1,000 beach access points in California. A new app shows you where » The Hollister Ranch gatehouse guard allows only designated owners and guests to enter the secluded oceanfront property

(Al Seib / Los Angeles Times)  Coastal access — often jostling for priority with wildlife protection, plastic pollution, offshore drilling and other high-profile environmental issues — has captured California's attention in ways that did not resonate in years past

The issue has taken on new meaning as conversations of equity dominate politics.  "I've talked about access for years, and this issue just didn't have the same impact and understanding and reception that it is now getting — not just from decision makers but also from my conservation colleagues," said Marce Gutiérrez-Graudiņš of Azul, a group that aims to bring more Latino voices to coastal issues

"I think there are a lot of things that are coming together, finally, at the right time

"  She points to decades of work by advocates such as Robert García of the City Project and the Free the Beach! study

They pushed for California's new environmental justice law, which explicitly authorizes coastal officials to consider not only impacts to plants, animals and coastal habitats when making decisions, but also the effects on underrepresented communities

 The more people have opportunities to go to the beach, the more they will care about protecting these environments, Gutiérrez-Graudiņš said

"There's an assumption that these communities don't really care about beach pollution or conservation or that we only care about access — but in reality, it's all linked

" Mounting public outrage has fueled new efforts by state officials to open a coveted stretch of California coastline in Santa Barbara County

(Tamlorn Chase / For The Times)  Equity became a rallying cry this year at Hollister Ranch

The fight to open some of the state's most unspoiled beaches had seemed like a done deal in favor of ranch owners, who have long contended the environment has benefited from their private stewardship

Coastal officials, in a controversial agreement struck behind closed doors, ceded a contested claim to access by land

 As news trickled out, more than 1,500 people emailed the commission lambasting the deal

Others drove seven hours from Riverside to a commission meeting in Santa Cruz to plea the case for access

The state changed course and has now teamed up its agencies to finish what was promised decades ago

 The latest strategy relies on updating a ranch-wide access program that the state had adopted in 1982 after a complicated legislative history and long standoff with resistant landowners

California beaches are supposed to be public. So why is the Hollister Ranch coast an exception? »  The program includes a walking trail and bicycle lane that would run parallel to the ranch's main private road

To minimize the number of cars — in the interest of privacy and environmental protection — a van would operate from nearby Gaviota State Park to six Hollister beaches, where there would be picnic areas and bathrooms

(California Coastal Commission)  The Coastal Commission, along with the Coastal Conservancy, the State Lands Commission and State Parks, is working quickly to update the plan — which officials say does not need a major rewrite

Advertisement >  State Lands this month started surveying the beaches to establish the mean high tide line, which separates public from private land, and coastal officials have established an email account to collect ideas and public input on what an access plan today should include

"We have an aggressive timeline. We want to move forward on the program as quickly as possible, while allowing enough time for adequate public input upfront," said Coastal Commission Executive Director Jack Ainsworth

"We don't want to just hand a plan that we developed to the public."  Monte Ward, president of the Hollister Ranch Owners Assn

, which represents the more than 1,000 people who own a share of the ranch, urged in a letter to the commission that residents also need to play a central role in the process

Advertisement >  "The Ranch, landward of the mean high tide line, is our property and our home," he said

"We propose a collaborative approach to the task of revising the 1982 Public Access Program in the hope and expectation that — working together — we can achieve success

" Signs warn of trespassing at Hollister Ranch Road. The fight to open some of the state's most unspoiled beaches had seemed like a done deal in favor of ranch owners, who have long contended the environment has benefited from their private stewardship

(Al Seib / Los Angeles Times)  Dozens of owners and ranch supporters, in detailed emails and public testimonies, have also pleaded their case to the commission

They worry that unfettered access could spoil the ranch's coastline and undo years of effort to protect the land

They point to the temporary access that they already grant to scientists, academics, historical societies, environmental groups and schoolchildren, and question how someone unfamiliar with the rugged terrain could safely navigate the steep canyons, unpaved roads and high tides without cell service

 Many objected to their characterization as wealthy landowners who just want a private beach

 "I am not an elitist enemy of the people. I share the ranch with as many people as possible

I do not surf. I'm not trying to protect a surf break or something like that. I am concerned with the destruction of something that is deeply important to me," Grant Fowlie wrote in an email to the commission

"I can tell you from firsthand experience that the impact on the beaches is apparent when even 10 people are there and don't clean up thoroughly

I can guarantee that what exists would be ruined from the 100,000s of visitors that would end up against these bluffs and on the reefs

"  They spoke one after another at a commission meeting in Newport Beach this month — for the first time in years outnumbering access advocates during public comments

Some spoke of their connection to the land and its history; others pointed to the disrepair of nearby Gaviota State Park and worried how a state with limited funding could maintain the pristine coastline

 "We only have the opportunity to protect things," Patrick Rebstock, who has ties to the ranch, said to the commission, "before they're destroyed

"  Coastal Commission Chair Dayna Bochco listened to these comments quietly for about an hour

Then, in an unexpected outburst, she pushed back at those who worry "that access by the public is going to somehow make your pristine property no longer pristine

"  "I find that somewhat offensive. I find it to be a very subtle kind of elitism — that for some reason you're better at protecting natural habitat than anyone else," she said

 "I can see why for the last 36 years that people of this type of thinking have blocked the state from doing what it legally has the right to do, which is to have an access program to Hollister Ranch's beaches," she said

"You shouldn't be able to enjoy it any more than any other human being. You are no better of a steward than we are

"  Access advocates praised these comments and pointed to other recent victories in the greater fight for access

Earlier that week, a push by the ranch to reject the validity of a public intervention of its settlement with the state was overruled by a Santa Barbara County Superior Court judge

Read more: Coastal advocates challenge deal that bars public from reaching Hollister Ranch by land »  "We're thrilled that the judge appears to understand that the public has rights here, and the public has a role here — and that was the role that was not represented when the settlement was negotiated," said Susan Jordan of the California Coastal Protection Network

 The coalition of advocacy groups, the ranch and the state will reconvene in January to determine the future of this settlement

 "We look forward," Jordan said, "to representing the public's interest."
