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.”
Let CA try. Business owners will take their cases to the SCOTUS.
Build that wall and start it at CA’s east border.
Thats gonna drive a lot of businesses who are borderline profitable out of business...less workers less illegals.
Business owner will go to other state. P.s. fed law usually overpowers state law. I think Trump is giving conniptions to the vote importers of cal. One day the fed troops will come in to cal....probably after next major riot when the state will not be able to pay national guard.
I’d agree if the US kept the San Diego corridor and the north and east counties that vote Red. Let’s see California survive with San Francisco to Los Angelos, and without most of the water reservoirs.
“No one should have to go to work every day scared of the threat of deportation,” Chiu said.
...
Except for those here illegally.
“No one should have to go to work every day scared of the threat of deportation.” Actually, no one who would be under the threat of deportation should be going to work. That said, I wonder if chiu has plans for the anticipated fines, such as diverting the funds to the Slow Speed Brown Streak.
According to Becerra, ““Everyone has an obligation to follow the law.” Under his breath, he said, “but not really.”
“No one should have to go to work every day scared of the threat of deportation,”

Only illegal aliens would be worried.
They SHOULD be worried, they broke in and are trespassing and breaking multiple other laws DAILY.
Working illegally is another crime.
So, we all get to cherry pick the laws we want to observe and the ones we don’t??
Really?
Man, every day it seems California finds yet another way to antagonize businesses. The business of California seems to be to make it as difficult as possible to do business in California. But I suppose with the Marxist Democrats in complete control of the state this is only the natural outcome.
Will that last business in California please turn off all the lights.
Why can’t these people be arrested TODAY for obstruction of justice. They’re in direct violation of the law.
Bingo!! Any signators will be indicted!!
Exactly. There actions are intended solely to increase Democrat voter registration by pandering to illegal aliens above and at the expense of US citizens, giving illegals sanctuary, benefits and free stuff in exchange for their lifetime party loyalty. Aka: buying votes.
Yes, the feds have failed to protect the state from invasion, and the state govt is deliberately slipping into a bureaucratic oligarchy supported by the invaders. The state bureaucracy controls the legislature, there is no honest representation. It is truly insane.
Mexicans have turned the state into a third world shtthole.
Really?
According to the California Legislature. Personally I think it will come back and bite them in the butt, but I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Maybe the South was a bit premature in it’s rebellion. We should have waited a hundred years or so./s
California still locked in the hippy era what a bunch of shut ins.
Kalifornia is getting closer to aggressive even armed action to block federal agents from doing their jobs...just like George Wallace did in Alabama.
My grandfather say that California is the land of the fruits and nuts...#Calexit...
So, we all get to cherry pick the laws we want to observe and the ones we don’t??
