State Legislature passes bills to restrict immigration enforcement at schools

The California Legislature passed two bills this week that attempt to restrict immigration enforcement on school campuses and inform students and families of the presence of immigration officers on campuses.

Assembly Bill 49, if signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, will prohibit schools from allowing immigration enforcement officers to enter a school campus or question a student unless they have a judicial warrant or court order. It will also prohibit schools from sharing information about a student, family or employee with immigration officials, unless the officials present a judicial warrant or court order.
