In the aftermath of the passage of legislation aimed at limiting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in California, the state has released rules employers must follow or risk fines of up to $10,000 per offense.
The Immigrant Worker Protection Act prohibits employers from voluntarily granting ICE agents access to private areas of worksites or to employee records. If ICE agents have a judicial warrant or subpoena for the records, however, the state law allows employers to grant them access, according to guidelines released by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.
Under the new state law, employers must also notify employees of record inspections that federal immigration agents are conducting within 72 hours of receiving a notice of inspection. Likewise, employers are prohibited from reverifying workers’ employment eligibility at a time or in a manner that is not required by federal immigration law.
Employers can be fined up to $10,000 for not complying with eligibility reverification provision. Violations of other provisions of the law can result in fines of $2,000 to $5,000 for the first offense and $5,000 to $10,000 for subsequent offenses.
“The advisory and guidance released today are important tools to help workers and employers feel more secure, by educating them about their rights and responsibilities under the law,” Becerra said in a statement. “Everyone has an obligation to follow the law, whether it’s the Constitution, federal or state law. AB 450 works in concert, not in conflict, with our Constitution and federal laws.”
Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco), the author of the legislation, also released a statement on the new rules.
“No one should have to go to work every day scared of the threat of deportation,” Chiu said. “AB 450 was meant to not only give protections to California workers but also to ensure employers know what to do if immigration officials visit their workplaces.”

The unintended consequences may be that employers will think twice before hiring illegals because they are too much trouble. The obvious solution of the geniuses in the CA legislature will then be a requirement that every business must employ a certain number of illegals.
Rock VS Hard Place soon...
So Arizona passes a law that requires local cops to cooperate with ICE and it is ruled illegal. Now California is about to pass a law that requires local employers NOT to cooperate with the feds. Somehow I suspect this will be found to be legal.
These jagoffs obviously do not understand the Supremacy Clause.

I think the feds should fine a business $1,000,000 for every illegal the feds catch working at the business. And also cut ALL funding going to Kuckafornia and place custom check points on every federal highway leaving Stupidfornia.
California is quickly becoming a confederate state, a state in rebellion. The question is, should the residents rise up and overthrow the revolutionary government??
Where is Attorney General Sessions?”
We’re sick of asking. AZ got hammered for enforcing US immigration laws. CA is punishing companies for cooperation with ICE, worthless Jeff Sessions does nothing.
Well that's big of them!
“Under the new state law, employers must also notify employees of record inspections that federal immigration agents are conducting within 72 hours of receiving a notice of inspection. ”
And ICE has just done that. Served 199 California companies with notice of employee audit.
Forget Sessions....where is Mattis?
California is in open rebellion. Send the military to Sacramento to arrest the coup plotters.
much like arizona if someone challenged any of these laws in court they would be shot down.... the feds are granted the authority to regulate immigration per the constitution.... ONLY the feds.....
IF you break our law and come into the country illegally then that's exactly how you should go to work everyday. Right up until you are deported.
Could california just secede now, please? Trust me, unlike President Lincoln, President Trump will not fight a war to keep it part of the Union. On the contrary, instead, I see a wall being built on the Nevada, Arizona and Oregon borders.
Now that would be winning.

No. They don’t care about it.
So each state can now decide which Federal Laws they will assist in enforcing.
By extension it means each state (county, city, individual) can decide which Federal Court decision they must obey.
I see a whole lot of social engineering done by the courts over the past 60 years that some states may wish to ignore.
Cali is revolting! They've been revolting for quite a while, and will get more revolting by the time this is over!
Yeah! Wall out FR, Fresno.
