Holy Crap: California threatens to prosecute companies who help the feds with illegal immigration sweeps!
California is so dead set on being a sanctuary state for illegals that they are now vowing to prosecute any company in California who assists the feds on illegal immigration without a warrant:
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra on Thursday warned employers in the state that they will face legal consequences if they voluntarily provide information on their employees’ immigration statuses to federal authorities.
“It’s important, given these rumors that are out there, to let people know—more specifically today, employers—that if they voluntarily start giving up information about their employees or access to their employees in ways that contradict our new California laws, they subject themselves to actions by my office,” Becerra said at a news conference, according to the Sacramento Bee. “We will prosecute those who violate the law.”
Becerra said the state Department of Justice and the state Labor Commissioner’s Office plan to issue formal guidance to all California employers about their responsibilities under a new California law that went into effect on Jan. 1.
The Immigrant Worker Protection Act seeks to prevent all workers, including illegal immigrants, from being detained at their workplaces, and could slap employers with fines up to $10,000 if they assist federal immigration authorities crackdown on illegal immigration.
Under the Immigrant Worker Protection Act, employers are required to ask immigration agents for a warrant before granting access to a worksite in California. Employers are also required to notify their workers before a federal audit of employee records, and they are not allowed to voluntarily share confidential employee information without a subpoena.
I think it’s past time for the Trump administration to cut off all federal money under their purview to California. If they want to be a sanctuary state and defy authorities, let them do it on their dime. This is honestly getting ridiculous.
NOTE: I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALL THE ILLEGALS REMOVED TO CALIFORNIA.
