Protections for people who entered the country illegally but don’t have documentation and for LGBT foster youth are among the bills California Governor Jerry Brown recently signed into law. Most of the bills are effective January 1.
Among the pieces of legislation that Brown approved before the October 13 deadline was Assembly Bill 4, the Transparency and Responsibility Using State Tools Act - more commonly known as the TRUST Act.
The bill, authored by gay Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), addresses issues with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s Secure Communities program, widely known as S-Comm. According to Ammiano, S-Comm was promoted as a way to deport dangerous criminals, but most of the 100,000 Californians forced out of the country through the program didn’t meet that description.
"Some were even crime victims, leading members of some communities to avoid reporting crimes for fear of deportation," a news release from Ammiano said.
Carolina Morales is programs co-director at Community United Against Violence, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that’s been critical of S-Comm. She noted the city already has a similar ordinance.
"For people in San Francisco, the TRUST Act is more about continuing to feel like we’re not being punished for just being undocumented," said Morales in an interview.
Allan Martinez, a 47-year-old transgender man who lives in San Francisco but is originally from Mexico, has been afraid to call police for help in the past because of S-Comm. He didn’t report incidents like abuse from his ex-girlfriend and a little girl who was being mistreated by her parents.
Among other fears, Martinez, who doesn’t have legal documentation to be in the United States, said there was "the possibility of being deported." Martinez spoke to the Bay Area Reporter through Morales, who provided translation.

Atzlan’s Gov. Brown Signs Immigrant Bills, fixed it! And as far as LGBT’s there has been more than a little suspicion over the years as to moonbeams machismo. I bet he and bathhouse barry have a lot in common.
'Gotta recruit 'em young.
Sick bastards.
“most of the 100,000 Californians”
Notice the traitorous, treasonous use of langauge as in how
the author refers to those deported as “Californians”.
Immigration laws are federal laws, not state laws, for a reason. We all, the nation, agrees to who can and cannot legally reside in these United States. To call those illegally in California as “Californians” represents mere open borders propaganda.
Just why do so many suffer from self-loathing? They are traitors to the country. It is OK if they hate their selves...just withdraw and off your self. Quit any position of authority or of power and leave everyone else alone.
May as well offer free bus service Jerry.
Where the hell is Eric the Red Holder and his army of shyster lawyers? Isn’t Moon Beam working above his pay grade here? Immigration business belongs to the Feds only. We need a lawsuit here!!!
UGHHHH!! Just when I was about to have my lunch - Ramen Noodles. Ugh but I will admit I have thought Moonbeam to be one. What happen to wifeypo? She is no where to be seen. Makes me wonder.
