Deportation

California legislators want to limit deportation actions at schools, but they can’t ban immigration officials.

Some sectors, like agriculture, will be hit directly. Many more could feel the ripple effects.

In the first Trump administration, California passed a “Sanctuary State” law that, with some exceptions, prohibited local law enforcement from automatically transferring people to federal immigration authorities. Now the state is readying legal challenges to thwart a second Trump administration’s mass deportation plans.
