This is exactly what happens when inmates run the asylum.
Against the law to report a crime? Ok, got it.
Punishing law-abiding citizens for reporting criminal activity to police.
What could go wrong?
I strongly suspect a bill will soon be passed REQUIRING a landlord to give special privileges first to illegals over citizens.
Anonymous phone calls.
Sounds illegal and unconstitutional if that is really what it says.
What if the illegal aliens are selling drugs and sex slaves? Will it be illegal to tell the police about that? What other crimes will it be illegal to tell the police about?
What if you report them anonymously?
...but you’re supposed to report smokers or people that don’t recycle properly? Sheesh.

Federal code 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) would make it illegal for California to pass a law that encourages people to come to California illegally.

Ensuring the homelessness of the minority population???
Yet California police can steal money out of food vendors wallets.
California is now the property pf Mexico.
This is what happens when you have an out of control legislature and governor who pass laws based on their ideology, not on what is best for the state’s people. People like this use the rule of man, masked as the rule of law to control the people. It is what the Russians and Germans did and is anti freedom.
Can’t wait to see the legal battle when the first landlord follows Federal Law.....
Or maybe:
1) Landlord informs another person who is not in the government.
2) That person reports the matter to the authorities.
Landlord is in the clear. So is the person reporting the illegal.
Perhaps a business in which a person does this as a service to landlords for a nominal fee for each illegal reported. Hmmmm....
Its like Cali is run by a handful of self serving and or demented American hating a$$hole freakazoid zombie queer bots?
We may have to moab 70-80% of the state.
In oder to resolve this?
The landlord ought to have "standing", because he will be directly harmed by the fine.
That should qualify for some kind of Gov’t grant to get the business up and running..........
