SACRAMENTO — California legislators announced several bills to protect the state’s immigrants being targeted by President Trump’s aggressive new policies, including federal enforcement raids at schools, hospitals and religious buildings.
Senate Bill 48, introduced by Sen. Lena Gonzalez (D-Long Beach), would require schools and county offices of education to deny permission to immigration enforcement officers to enter a campus or question a student unless they have a judicial warrant or court order.
Amid political promises of mass deportation under the incoming Trump administration, Senate Majority Leader Lena Gonzalez introduced legislation Monday that will prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from entering school campuses.
California leaders are preparing for the incoming presidential administration by introducing another measure to keep immigration enforcement efforts away from schools.
Sen. Lena Gonzalez is introducing legislation today — to be sponsored by State Superintendent Tony Thurmond — that would try to prevent immigration officials from entering school campuses, according to a media release from Thurmond’s office.
