LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1073, as introduced, Blanca Rubio.
Immigration enforcement: shelters: sensitive locations.
Existing law prohibits a state or local law enforcement agency, including school police and security departments, from using money or personnel to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes and, subject to exceptions, proscribes other activities or conduct in connection with immigration enforcement by law enforcement agencies. Existing law required the Attorney General to publish, by October 1, 2018, model policies limiting assistance with immigration enforcement to the fullest extent possible consistent with federal and state law at public schools, public libraries, health facilities operated by the state or a political subdivision of the state, courthouses, and shelters, among other places.
The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) published in 2011 a memorandum for field
office directors describing the procedures for enforcement actions at or focused on “sensitive locations.” The memorandum described several sensitive locations, including schools, hospitals, and institutions of worship.
This bill would authorize the Attorney General to enter into a memorandum of understanding with ICE to treat shelters in this state that provide services to individuals who are victims of domestic violence or sexual assault as sensitive locations for purposes of federal immigration enforcement activities.
