Schools and state-owned buildings would be off-limits to federal immigration agents under a California bill that would force officers to get warrants before they visit public sites for surveillance or arrests.
SB 183 asserts that the presence of immigration agents at public buildings deters residents from paying fines, reporting crimes or cooperating with state investigations.
The bill follows steps three state leaders have taken to keep agents from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement stay away from their offices.
California Superintendent Tom Torlakson has encouraged schools to declares themselves as “safe havens” from immigration enforcement. Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions asking the federal government to refrain from “stalking” undocumented California residents near courts, and Labor Commissioner Julie Su in July issued guidelines to her staff directing them to turn away ICE agents.

ICE Trumps California.
Fine. Kick in their doors at home at 4:00 AM instead, and fill up the vans while ICE is at it.
Can I make my property off limits to federal authorities too? What about state athorities?
Federal agents can go just about any place they want.
A state is not going to get away with trying to bar them.
Frankly, I’d make sure my agents had plenty of assignments in public schools in large numbers to make it clear this B.S. isn’t worth the toilet paper it’s written on.
Why didn’t the state do this over the ridiculous ADA requirements that change every year?
Just secede already, California, instead of making these idiotic, Unconstitutional laws.
THis is silly as the feds were not barging into schools to remove students. Were they doing this, it would be big news with blurred faced interviews with weeping family members.
They enter state buildings when notified that an illegal has been detained for a crime, usually a felony.
I believe that The South tried tat a little over 150 years ago.
Didn’t work out too well for them..................
ICE should call their bluff and put tjem back in their place.
Stupid CA commies do not realize they cannot force a Federal Agent to get a warrant where there is no Federal requirement for one.
More feel-good legislation with zero impact.
Won’t it be fun to watch Jerry Brown channel John Calhoun?
Just withhold every single federal dollar from the state of California. Real simple.
Yep. We need another Sherman to march from San Diego to Sacramento and San Francisco.
Federal dollars should be barred from California schools, state buildings.
Yep, and when the warrant is applied for, the locals warn the affected families and their children are mysteriously “out sick” that day....
These people are too clever by half.
Excellent! No federal funds should go to facilities where federal law enforcement is banned. This should save American taxpayers a lot of money.
Close to Civil War territory ... I believe that was the proximate cause of the confrontation at Fort Sumter.
Ha ha! What’s the sponsoring legislator gonna do? Try to “stand in the door” like governor Wallace?
As an immediate step, President Trump should direct all government agencies to pull meetings, conferences, and travel from California and any state giving sanctuary to illegal aliens. This is simple, a part of day-to-day government operations, not something requiring congressional action, nor reviewable by courts. Heck, Obama did the same when he discouraged travel to Las Vegas. President Trump should do the same with California and others. Action, not words.
