‘We will prosecute’ employers who help immigration sweeps, California AG says
The Sacramento Bee ^ | January 18th, 2018 | By Angela Hart

Posted on 01/18/2018 3:15:43 PM PST by Mariner

The state’s top cop issued a warning to California employers Thursday that businesses face legal repercussions, including fines up to $10,000, if they assist federal immigration authorities with a potential widespread immigration crackdown.

“It’s important, given these rumors that are out there, to let people know – more specifically today, employers – that if they voluntarily 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,” state Attorney General Xavier Becerra said at a news conference. “We will prosecute those who violate the law.”

Becerra’s warning comes as fears spread of mass workplace raids following reports that immigration agents plan to target Northern California communities for deportations due in part to the state’s “sanctuary” law, which seeks to restrict local law enforcement agencies’ ability to cooperate with immigration authorities.

...

▪ Requires employers to ask immigration agents for a warrant before granting access to a worksite.

▪ Prevents employers from voluntarily sharing confidential employee information without a subpoena.

▪ Requires employers to notify their workers before a federal audit of employee records.

It's a federal civil rights violation for a state or local government to criminally or civilly prosecute people for complying with a federal law. If it involves the defendant's trade or business, it is extortion and a RICO violation meriting treble damages as well as statutory attorney fees. Plus then the prosecutors have to pay the treble damages from their own pockets because it would be a public policy violation for the state or local government to reimburse then.

I.e., this is a hollow threat which only reinforces California's standing as a failing state.

Unfortunately, the CA a$$holes will force the suit all the way to the Supremes, since the 9th Circus will affirm the lower kangaroo court ruling. The laws need to change so that governments PAY on frivolous lawsuits!!

When Arizona tried to stop the illegal alien invasion at its border with Mexico, the Kenyan b*tch sued Arizona and the illegals wanted Sheriff Arpaio to be executed. Why is there a different standard for the morons in California?

Their silly little law will not even pass muster at the CA Supreme Court or the 9th Circuit.

I wouldn't bet too heavily on that.

If this is all legally valid, interesting.

So sad to see my once great state now permanently in the hands of America-hating seditious traitors - courtesy of massive immigration-driven demographic change.

Third world immigration is a terrible thing. It will end our homeland.

I am entirely in favor of tax increases in order to pay for the jailing of hundreds of California government officials, after extracting all of the hefty fines from their estates.

This Becerra guy is seriously a piece of dog shit.

You are being too kind to him. He is caught up bigly in the Awan scandal before he left congress & should be locked up as part of that.

A total outlaw & seditionist.

some woman on Tucker now saying illegals enrich Phoenix. Tucker asks how many do you need what about 10 million then you could be very enriched. She is in over her head don TV with him and I think he is pulling some punches so he doesn’t have to call a whambulance.

Asking her for an ideal number but she can’t answer. “Immigrants helped build this country.” Uh oh, immigrants in Ar commit more crimes by a factor of 100% Her; We have had some success stories. She can’t spar with him
