Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted March 7, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 7, 2018 The Justice Department is suing California and two top state officials, accusing them of interfering with federal immigration efforts by passing and enforcing state laws that hinder U.S. operations against undocumented people. https://www.npr.org/2018/03/06/591301485/justice-department-sues-california-over-immigration-laws 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer254 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Last year, California lawmakers passed three immigration-related laws that feature prominently in the new lawsuit. One bars private employers from voluntarily cooperating with federal immigration officials and requires businesses to notify workers in advance of a federal raid. A second law restricts state and local law enforcement from voluntarily sharing information with the feds about the release dates of undocumented people in their custody. That law also bars the transfer of undocumented people into federal custody. The third law under federal challenge covers state inspections of detention facilities that hold noncitizens in federal custody. How are these laws protecting the citizens of California?
