834b. (a) Every law enforcement agency in California shall fully cooperate with the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service regarding any person who is arrested if he or she is suspected of being present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws.
(b) With respect to any such person who is arrested, and suspected of being present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws, every law enforcement agency shall do the following:
(1) Attempt to verify the legal status of such person as a citizen of the United States, an alien lawfully admitted as a permanentresident, an alien lawfully admitted for a temporary period of time or as an alien who is present in the United States in violation of immigration laws. The verification process may include, but shall not be limited to, questioning the person regarding his or her date and place of birth, and entry into the United States, and demanding documentation to indicate his or her legal status.
(2) Notify the person of his or her apparent status as an alien who is present in the United States in violation of federal immigration laws and inform him or her that, apart from any criminal justice proceedings, he or she must either obtain legal status or leave the United States.
(3) Notify the Attorney General of California and the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service of the apparent illegal status and provide any additional information that may be requested by any other public entity. (c) Any legislative, administrative, or other action by a city, county, or other legally authorized local governmental entity with jurisdictional boundaries, or by a law enforcement agency, to prevent or limit the cooperation required by subdivision (a) is expressly prohibited.

Contact Hannity, Oreilly, Beck, and the others about this. CA has a very similar immigration law on the books that AZ does. They don’t enforce it, however.

Somebody needs to file complaints against he sanctuary cities that they are violating this law.

And, CA is doing soooooooo well in enforcing this CA law./s
Excellent research, well done!
Well, it looks like Los Angeles and San Fran are going to have to boycott California!
That's the problem--The US INS is itself in dereliction of duty. One could argue that California, by NOT enforcing the immigration laws, is in fact in compliance with INS policy, if not the actual law.

Gotcha!
