California’s Attorney General Xavier Becerra warned businesses that they will be prosecuted for helping federal law enforcement officers with immigration sweeps.
“It’s important, given these rumors that are out there, to let people know – more specifically today, employers – that if they voluntarily start giving up information about their employees or access to their employees in ways that contradict our new California laws, they subject themselves to actions by my office,” he said at a news conference. “We will prosecute those who violate the law.”
Businesses could be fined up to $10,000 for assisting federal immigration authorities.
The move comes after acting ICE Director Thomas Homan said he’s beefing up his agency’s enforcement presence in the state.
