California’s New Immigration Laws Take Effect Or Something

Yeah, well, good luck with this, Los Federales are in charge of immigration enforcement

New California laws take on ICE, how immigration enforcement occurs

California is shaping how immigration enforcement plays out in the state through legislation passed in 2025, including requirements that federal officers identify themselves and limits on where they can enter. (snip through a recap of what enforcement happened in the People’s Republik Of California)

Immigration status and your place of birth are included under the definition of protected medical information under SB 81, meaning health care providers can’t share that information, though there are some exceptions. SB 81 broadly bars health care providers from disclosing medical information to enforce immigration laws. Also, health care providers aren’t allowed to let anyone enter areas not open to the public for “immigration enforcement purposes,” according to the California Attorney General’s office.

Good luck refusing to share the information with federal authorities

The Family Preparedness Plan Act of 2025 addresses one aspect related to the enforcement of immigration law: Parents being separated from their children. It creates a joint guardianship of a minor between a parent and the person a parent designates, according to the bill’s author and Assemblymember Celeste Rodriguez. AB 495 also requires the Attorney General to publish model policies limiting assistance with immigration enforcement at daycare facilities and state preschool programs, the latter of which must adopt those policies or equivalent policies no later than July 1, 2026.

Hey, maybe they can all go home

SB 627, known as the No Secret Police Act, makes it a crime for a law enforcement officer, including federal officers or those acting on behalf of a federal law enforcement agency, to wear a facial covering that obscures their identity while performing their duties, with some exceptions.

It gave an out to California officers like SWAT

Federal law enforcement officers who aren’t uniformed are required to display identification that includes their agency and either a name or a badge number to the public when carrying out operations like arrests, said SB 805, although there are some exceptions. This includes ICE officers, said California Speaker of the Assembly Robert Rivas.

Good luck trying to boss federal law enforcement around

AB 49 bans school officials and employees from allowing an officer conducting enforcement of immigration law to enter a non-public area of the school for any purpose without being presented a valid warrant, subpoena or court order, and school officials are required to request their identification. Also, school district employees and others can’t provide education records or any information about a student or their family and household to authorities enforcing immigration laws, except under certain exceptions.

Good luck in jail on that obstruction charge

California State University leaders are required to adopt a systemwide policy for grades, dropping classes, and reenrollment for undocumented students unable to attend their courses because of immigration enforcement activity. SB 307 also requests University of California leaders to do the same.

I bet Americans who have issues do not get the same courtesy. Anyhow, there’s more. Seems like the PRC government spent more time worrying about illegals than California citizens. How’s that rebuild going on in the Palisades?
