The awkward exchange unfolded Tuesday after Sacramento City Council recessed and ordered the public removed from the chambers following repeated disruptions during a fiery debate over the city's continued participation in a regional intelligence-sharing center. "The city of Sacramento is a sanctuary city," Talamantes said during the meeting. You are our f---ing audience," another voice exclaimed as council members attempted to continue the meeting. Following the meeting, McCarty said the private conversation focused on existing meeting procedures, not new restrictions. The Sacramento City Attorney's Office declined to address McCarty's reference to legal advice during the hot-mic exchange.
