Amidst persistent Trump Administration threats of deportation, millions of immigrants in California fear for their safety, and ability to hold their families together. In our state alone, the annual labor of undocumented immigrants is worth $180 billion. Despite this, ICE agents routinely conduct mass work-site sweeps based on racial profiling. AB 450 will stop this unconstitutional practice by requiring employers to ask for a warrant before granting ICE access to a work site, and preventing employers from sharing confidential employee information without a subpoena. (This bill is now law.)
