    If the second, there are some issues:
    1: As you already noticed, state and local law enforcement do not have the authority to enforce immigration law.
    2: Without voluntarily asking/forcing the people that they interact with to provide proof of citizenship / immigration status, state and local law enforcement have no basis on which to detain.
    3: Without voluntarily interacting with ICE, state and local law enforcement cannot determine the immigration status of a person that they detain.
    4: Even if they were to detain a person, they would have to voluntarily inform ICE and then voluntarily transfer custody of that person to ICE.

    Nothing is voluntary for California, their constitution forces them to agree to the federal request that they consent to allow their officers to enforce immigration law.

    3: That statute is not the state's to enforce:

    (1) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall be charged with the administration and enforcement of this chapter and all other laws relating to the immigration and naturalization of aliens, except insofar as this chapter or such laws relate to the powers, functions, and duties conferred upon the President, Attorney General, the Secretary of State, the officers of the Department of State, or diplomatic or consular officers: Provided, however, That determination and ruling by the Attorney General with respect to all questions of law shall be controlling.

    4: Even if none of the above 3 points were true, there is nothing to enforce and no enforcement provision. It is voluntary. If it were not intended to be voluntary, then the clause making it voluntary would not have been written.

    Interpreting this as mandatory requires an a conscious act of willful stupidity and illogic:

    (10) In the event the Attorney General determines that an actual or imminent mass influx of aliens arriving off the coast of the United States, or near a land border, presents urgent circumstances requiring an immediate Federal response, the Attorney General may authorize any State or local law enforcement officer, with the consent of the head of the department, agency, or establishment under whose jurisdiction the individual is serving, to perform or exercise any of the powers, privileges, or duties conferred or imposed by this chapter or regulations issued there under upon officers or employees of the Service.

    Correct; the state constitution (the part you so helpfully quoted) specifically dictates that the state must prefer its own statues over federal statues and regulations. Until such time as an appellate court (the 9th circuit - good luck) rules otherwise, they must obey the new state statute. I'll hit that part with every emphasis option possible so that you can notice it.

    Dude, you are playing semantics. California "officials" are indirectly stating that immigration laws are unconstitutional as by their actions and intentions.

    Do you not grasp the ramifications on what is a sanctuary city? It is more than simply not assisting federal agents with their operations, but also about not reporting suspected violations, not holding suspected violators, not passing on intelligence that is helpful for purposes of immigration enforcement, etc. And make no mistake, this is not just about Mexican border jumpers, it is as well about aiding and abetting terrorism, narco-trafficking, and counterfeiters.

    Who has the authority to enforce those immigration laws?


    How should a state or local law enforcement officer lawfully determine the citizenship or immigration status without a) being deputized as an ICE agent or b) contacting ICE and divulging to the federal government the personal details of every person that they interact with?

    Should state and local law enforcement confirm the citizenship status of every single person they interact with? How?

    No, they're not. They are just telling police that they may not contact ICE to determine a person's citizenship/immigration status except under certain circumstances.

    Are you saying that if they see something, they should say something? That it is the obligation of state and local government to inform on their residents to the federal government? You specifically mention intelligence: Should participation in fusion centers be mandatory?


    Does your logic also apply to police enforcement of anti-drug laws in states where use/possession/sale of those drugs is decriminalized? Make no mistake, drug trafficking is also tied to terrorism, narco-trafficking, and counterfeiting.

    CLETS, NCIC and INTERPOL is a good starting point, just takes them a couple of minutes to run them and then make a phone call over to their local ICE office.

    Precisely, this is the same effect or result--their motive, because they want it to be unconstitutional because this is the base they advocate for, without it, they loose power and influence over conservatives. Neoliberalism is a mental illness.

    Immigrants are not proper residents and have very limited rights while here.

    FedGov has enumerated power over immigration, while acts of terrorism may or may not be a federal matter, there would be many factors to consider, e.g., a riot in Watts or Oakland is not domestic violence under the Constitution until it progresses to a considerable degree, such is now being achieved by ANTIFA.

    I am not certain what you are referring to exactly? Should illegals not be permitted to use legal drugs or should illegals that use legal drugs be reported or contacted by police, regardless?

    Actually, it does make a constitutional argument, and the facts seem skewed too, 1:3 Californians are immigrants, I don't think so. It also blends illegals as being immigrants.

    7284.2. The Legislature finds and declares the following:

    (a) Immigrants are valuable and essential members of the California community. Almost one in three Californians is foreign born and one in two children in California has at least one immigrant parent.
    (b) A relationship of trust between California’s immigrant community and state and local agencies is central to the public safety of the people of California.
    (c) This trust is threatened when state and local agencies are entangled with federal immigration enforcement, with the result that immigrant community members fear approaching police when they are victims of, and witnesses to, crimes, seeking basic health services, or attending school, to the detriment of public safety and the well-being of all Californians.
    (d) Entangling state and local agencies with federal immigration enforcement programs diverts already limited resources and blurs the lines of accountability between local, state, and federal governments.
    (e) State and local participation in federal immigration enforcement programs also raises constitutional concerns, including the prospect that California residents could be detained in violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, targeted on the basis of race or ethnicity in violation of the Equal Protection Clause, or denied access to education based on immigration status.
    Also think this statute is a XIV Amend., as it is protecting a specific class of individuals from the scrutiny of law enforcement. Providing them a claim that others are not entitled.

    This is not a law that can be enforced, this is a law that requires them to declare a statute unenforceable without an appellate court having made a determination that the enforcement of such statute is prohibited by federal law or federal regulations.

    You're still looking? I thought you'd settled on your pretzel-logic of the California constitution meaning the exact opposite of what it says.

    Regardless, as with nearly every reference that you use on this topic or otherwise, it does not seem as if you have actually read the thing that you are talking about. It gives the impression that you are just copy/pasting or reiterating an argument that you've seen posted elsewhere. Nothing in the California legislation violates 8 U.S.C. 1373. The information that they are prohibited from sharing with ICE does not include immigration status, and since the police are prohibited from asking about citizenship or immigration status, they don't have such information to transmit in the first place.

    7284.6.

    (a) California law enforcement agencies shall not:
    (1) Use agency or department moneys or personnel to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes, including any of the following:
    (A) Inquiring into an individual’s immigration status.
    (B) Detaining an individual on the basis of a hold request.
    (C) Providing information regarding a person’s release date or responding to requests for notification by providing release dates or other information unless that information is available to the public, or is in response to a notification request from immigration authorities in accordance with Section 7282.5. Responses are never required, but are permitted under this subdivision, provided that they do not violate any local law or policy.

    If I am wrong on this particular law it still doesn't change the rest.

    And lets put the goal posts back where they belong shall we? Even if California is not doing something illegal they are doing something WRONG.

    In order for there to be 'the rest' there would have to be other laws which they are violating.

    So you are arguing that the Legislature did not know what it was speaking of when it ratified 8 U.S.C. 1373?

    What if an illegal voluntarily discloses their status to law enforcement?

    And there is more in play here than merely an officer asking the question, it also pertains to say, ICE calling the police and asking them to hold onto somebody they have in custody or are detaining for something else.

    Make no mistake illegals and their attorneys are going to seek protection from prosecution under this statute for a whole host of criminal activities.

    It is clear this statute violates federal supremacy, official's Oath of Affirmation, and results in an unavoidable XIV Amend. violation.

    Do you think that I should go off of what the legislature actually wrote in 8 USC 1373, or what I imagine that they might have intended but did not actually write into law?

    Likely that person would be detained if it were in connection with some other crime. California's law does not forbid law enforcement from arresting people who have committed immigration violations unless that is the sole reason for the arrest.

    California's law allows ICE to do that, so long as they follow the law and get the warrant. What it forbids ICE from doing is requesting the detention of someone based on no more than a phone call.

    This statute does not contain any protection from prosecution for anyone, illegal or otherwise.

    Sure have at it, (notwithstanding is a fancy way of just staying in spite of or to despite)

    (a) In general
    Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, a Federal, State, or local government entity or official may not prohibit, or in any way restrict, any government entity or official from sending to, or receiving from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service information regarding the citizenship or immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual.

    (b) Additional authority of government entities
    Notwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law, no person or agency may prohibit, or in any way restrict, a Federal, State, or local government entity from doing any of the following with respect to information regarding the immigration status, lawful or unlawful, of any individual:

    (1) Sending such information to, or requesting or receiving such information from, the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
    (2) Maintaining such information.
    (3) Exchanging such information with any other Federal, State, or local government entity.
    (c) Obligation to respond to inquiries

    The Immigration and Naturalization Service shall respond to an inquiry by a Federal, State, or local government agency, seeking to verify or ascertain the citizenship or immigration status of any individual within the jurisdiction of the agency for any purpose authorized by law, by providing the requested verification or status information.

    Negative, runs much deeper than simply this.

    Negative, hence the term "sanctuary state", the State of California has in effect limited the available resources and logistics of ICE greatly. The mostly likely chance point of contact of illegals within a state will be with local authorities, not ICE personnel.
