California AG: "We will prosecute" employers who violate sanctuary laws

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra warned employers Thursday of legal repercussions if they assist federal immigration officials in an impending crackdown in the sanctuary state, The Sacramento Bee reported.

Under a new state law – the Immigration Worker Protection Act – employers and businesses could face fines of up to $10,000 if they provide employee information to U.S. Immigration Customs, Becerra said.

If employers “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. We will prosecute those who violate the law,” he said at a news conference.  

The law prevents workers of any immigration status from being detained at workplaces. Among other stipulations, federal officials must obtain a warrant before searching a worksite and employers are required to notify their workers before a federal audit of employee records.

Becerra said the Department of Justice and the Labor Commission’s office – which hold exclusive authority over enforcement – will give “guidance” to public and private employers on their responsibilities under the new law.

The warning comes amid rumors of mass sweeps that will target illegal immigrants in Northern California. Under California’s sanctuary laws, local police are restricted from cooperating with federal immigration authorities.

Upon hearing the rumors, local jurisdictions in Northern California said they hadn’t been notified by federal officials of any impending raids.

ICE’s acting director, Thomas Homan told Fox News earlier this month, “If the politicians in California don’t want to protect their communities, then ICE will.”

(iv) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) resulting in the death of any person, be punished by death or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, fined under title 18, or both

Time to do a sweep against all Democrats (and a bunch of Republicans) in office throughout the State of California. Lock the politicians up first...then go after the aliens.

And if a single ICE officer is killed during a sweep, convict and execute any politician who voted for this sanctuary state garbage.

[RC one]

That’s a shot across the bow. Sessions needs to return fire. The government of California is in rebellion. It can’t stand.

[VermithraxPejorative]

These treasonous baztardz need to be thrown in prison for life. The Democrat party is completely disregarding laws and committing endless crimes and it needs to be stopped NOW.

[pepsionice]

It’s only setting them up for a massive lawsuit when some illegal kills someone and it’s discovered that the local or state cops could have prevented it. Once that action is establish....it’ll repeat weekly and drive the state into bankruptcy.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Trump could be quite brutal here if he wished. He’s only got so much political capital however, and may have to escalate strategically. Having mass uprisings in Leftyland will risk the mushy middle. It could also risk the USSC swing votes putting a finger to the wind.

“What if they passed a law but nobody cared?”

[CIB-173RDABN]

If the past year is any example President Trump is a patient man willing to wait until the time is right.

With the entire media working 24/7 against him, along with all Democrats and most Republicans he has to be careful on when he acts.

California has set up a collision between the state and the Federal Government. It is only a matter of time when this crisis comes to a head.

I think we are about to see a perfect storm engulfing not only the Democrats but the media. It is then I believe President Trump will act.

[Sacajaweau]

Definitely going to Supreme Court. A state has no say over immigration laws. Ca law is void on its face.

[HiTech RedNeck]

That’s what’s probably going to happen. It will go down in a whimper, not a bang. Most feathers, least hissing.

[Tennessee Nana]

You go ahead and do that...

and see how far you get in accordance with US laws...

Hispanic protecting Hispanics.

Pretty common now.

Many are there to advance the Hispanic agenda, not to serve all citizens, do their jobs and keep their oath of office.

Just like democrats everywhere who put the democrat party first before the nation, honor, and oath of office.

Wait until we have widespread muslims in government positions of authority and as judges.

We already see a little of what that will be like in the killing of Justine Damond by a Minneapolis muslim cop.

An unprovoked Cold blooded shooting of an unarmed white Australian woman by a black Somali muslim cop and the prosecutor says there is insufficient evidence to press charges.

[Liz]

Hispanic Becerra protecting Hispanics......here to advance the Hispanic agenda, not to serve US citizens, do their US jobs and keep their US oath of office. Just like democrats everywhere who put the democrat party first before the nation, honor, and oath of office.

The number of times Becerra was faihful to American values is zero. Mostly disparages and humiliates patriotic American voters.

Like the fictional Philip Nolan.....”The Man Without a Country,” Becerra seems to have renounced our nation......acts like he never heard of the United States of America.

Even more egregious one could conclude he was given explicit orders.......”no one who crawled across the border should ever mention the United States of America ever again.”

[Liz]

Wait until we have widespread muslims in government positions of authority and as judges.

Meet the Muslim Congressman with a stranglehold on your safety and security.

Muslim Democrat Cong Andre Carson's Congressional Committees

NOTE--The DNC places a price on these committees---Congressman wishing to be placed on the committee pay up front. Where did Muslim Carson get the money to get on these highly sensitive committees?

Is Carson funneling Islamic cash into the DNC?

Do Indiana constituents know Carson bought these seats?

The security and privacy features on the ICE anonymous tip line will become paramount. Such tips will need to be protected from use in any prosecutions in any court.

[iontheball]

Definitely going to Supreme Court. A state has no say over immigration laws. Ca law is void on its face.

Definitely going to Supreme Court. A state has no say over immigration laws. Ca law is void on its face.

It is against the Constitution for any state government to make law to over-ride or contradict any standing federal statute. Local ordinances may manipulate aspects around it but if the federal hammers come down, the local government will get crushed.

We already see a little of the disastrous effects of Obama's letting in Muslims, via the killing of Justine Diamond by a Minneapolis Somali Muslim cop.

UPDATE An unprovoked cold-blooded shooting of an unarmed white Australian woman by a black Somali muslim cop and the prosecutor says there is insufficient evidence to press charges.

Somalis in Minnesota----Somali councilman at podium----unite to defend Somali policeman who shot girl saying he was an "American......but when he joined the police dept--he was hailed as a Somali. They want it both ways.

Nice how they assimilate, isnt it?

================================

Somali Police Association in Minnesota---getting dental work, I hope.
One of their Somalis colleagues killed a girl without provocation.

They come to the great melting pot then proceed to set themselves apart from Americans.

On the plus side, California will be a far nicer place to live after Reconstruction...

[Gen.Blather]

“California has set up a collision between the state and the Federal Government. It is only a matter of time when this crisis comes to a head.”

Having been in the room when CEO’s made major decisions I can tell you that the number one concern is liability. The California government has jammed companies between the rock and the hard place. The companies can not do anything about the federal government. The only place they have leverage is in giving contributions to political action committees. Do you think that if they feel their company is threatened by Democrats they will continue to give to Democrats? No matter how Left-leaning their personal views are, they will opt to reduce liability exposure and that means getting rid of Democrats.

There were probably lots of ways the Democrats could have achieved their goals without placing CEO’s in this vice. But they chose the politically loudest and nastiest approach. I think, in the long run, they have hurt themselves; perhaps fatally.

[snoringbear]

“What if they passed a law but nobody cared?”

I think that’s what may have happened. If the state of California should start cracking down in businesses that disregard it’s sanctuary laws these businesses may either shut down or leave or both. Regardless, the state will continue its downward toilet bowl spiral...
