Will other ststes get to pass their own amnesty & immune from their laws ?Why is calif trying to set free that illegal who killed that man and his sons ?The proposal, called the California Trust Act, would be the first state law imposing "detainer reform," though local governments in Illinois, Wisconsin and elsewhere have enacted similar measures, according to California Assemblyman Tom Ammiano's office.
No other states have legislation similar to what is now being considered in California, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The California bill would set standards that allow police not to respond to requests from U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement to detain an illegal immigrant -- except in cases where the immigrant is a serious or violent convicted felon, Ammiano said in a fact sheet about his proposed bill. Ammiano is a Democrat from San Francisco.
If the arrested undocumented immigrant isn't a public threat to safety or is convicted only of a misdemeanor, the immigrant wouldn't have to be detained for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in local jails under the proposed bill, Ammiano's office said.
The proposed law is a rebuke of Section 2(B) of Arizona's controversial SB 1070 law -- and the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld this section -- that requires police there to verify with ICE the immigration status of persons whom officers have stopped and believe are in the country illegally, Ammiano's office said.
The proposed law will now go back to the California Assembly for a concurrent vote on Senate amendments after the legislature returns from a summer break on August 6, Ammiano said.
The Senate's 21-13 approval Thursday "signals to the nation that California cannot afford to be another Arizona," Ammiano said in a statement. "The bill also limits unjust and onerous detentions for deportation in local jails of community members who do not pose a threat to public safety."
