Prevent ICE from claiming to be checking on probation

SB852: This bill would clarify that a search of a person who is granted probation or mandatory supervision and subject to search or seizure must be performed only by a probation officer or other peace officer.

ACLU summary February 17, 2023: ACLU has sued to challenge ICE's unlawful "ruse" tactics during home enforcement operations. In these ruses, ICE officers represent themselves as California probation officers or claim they are conducting a probation check. Once the individual is lured outside or the officers have gained entry to the home, they reveal their identities as immigration officers.

Legislative Outcome: Passed Assembly 67-0-13 on Sep/1/23; passed Senate 39-0-1 on 9/6/23; State Sen. Brian Dahle voted YES; Signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on Sep/22/23.

Streamline path to citizenship, cooperate with ICE on crime

Our nation has immigration laws, and I do not believe we can simply ignore laws we don't like.

That said, we've had decades of a failed immigration system. I'm an advocate of streamlining the path to citizenship. One thing I would change as soon as possible in California are the disastrous policies that let violent criminals who are also in the country illegally back onto our streets to commit more crimes instead of turning them over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Voted NO on driver's license for undocumented immigrants

Excerpts from Legislative Counsel's Digest:

Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to require an applicant for an original driver's license or identification card to submit satisfactory proof that the applicant's presence in the United States is authorized under federal law.
This bill would require the department to issue an original driver's license to a person who is unable to submit satisfactory proof that the applicant's presence in the US is authorized under federal law if he or she meets all other qualifications for licensure and provides satisfactory proof to the department of his or her identity and California residency.

Status:Concurrence vote passed House, 55-21-2; passed Senate 28-8-3; approved by Gov.Brown 10/3/2013

OnTheIssues Explanation:Undocumented immigrants have no federal authorization; this bill allows them to get a state driver's license regardless of their lack of federal authorization.
