California's sanctuary law, Senate Bill 54, limits the ability of state and local police to assist in immigration enforcement. It prohibits police from investigating or arresting individuals solely for immigration purposes, reflecting a stance against federal deportation initiatives. While the law protects certain rights for immigrants, it does not shield them altogether from deportation by federal authorities like ICE. The law emphasizes the separation of state and federal responsibilities in immigration enforcement, allowing the federal government to act independently.
"The federal government has a lane that they are entitled to move in, they can enforce immigration law... But they can't conscript or force local law enforcement to do their job for them."
"Living in California alone does not shield someone from deportation. The law simply clarifies what local police can and cannot do regarding immigration."
