Immigration enforcement.

Senator Rubio's immigration enforcement measure establishes new protocols governing how United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers may access California courthouses, homeless shelters, rape crisis centers, and domestic violence shelters.

The bill requires facility employees to obtain three items from ICE officers before granting entry: valid identification, a written statement of purpose, and a judicial warrant. Additionally, the facility administrator or designee must approve the entry request. The legislation prohibits access to any facility where children are present, even when ICE officers present the required documentation. These requirements apply unless entry is mandated by state or federal law or necessary to administer state or federally supported programs.

Under the bill's provisions, facility employees who allow ICE entry without meeting these requirements would face criminal penalties. The measure specifies that local agencies and school districts will not receive state reimbursement for costs associated with implementing these new protocols, as the expenses relate to establishing new criminal provisions.
