California successfully defended its so-called sanctuary state laws during the first Trump administration. Attorney General Rob Bonta said the state is prepared to do so again.

OAKLAND – California Attorney General Rob Bonta today issued the followed statement on a memorandum from a Trump political appointee at the U.S.

NY AG James, alongside Cal AG Bonta, spearheaded a coalition of 11 state AGs in releasing joint statement opposing local law enforcement on immigration.

Attorney General Rob Bonta said he would defend birthright citizenship following an executive order by President Donald Trump, as California officials gear up for what is expected to be many legal challenges involving the new administration.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the Trump administration was employing a “scare tactic” following a recent memo from the Department of Justice that outlined pathways to prosecution for state officials who refuse to comply with federal immigration officers.

Fears among undocumented immigrant communities continue to grow as the new administration prepares to take office on Monday. It comes after reports of Border Patrol raids in Kern and Fresno counties surfaced last week.

A new change ends a policy that mostly prohibited agents from making immigration arrests at schools and other spots where children gather.

President Donald Trump's administration has directed U.S. prosecutors to criminally probe state and local officials who resist immigration enforcement efforts, intensifying a sweeping crackdown that Trump launched the day he took office.

Kern County schools, churches, hospitals and more respond to directive rescinding limitations placed on federal ICE operations that previously barred agents from entering "sensitive areas".

California state officials and leaders of county offices of education and school districts quickly rebuked the Trump administration’s new guidance allowing immigration enforcement near or in schools.

California is advising health care providers not to write down patients’ immigration status on bills and medical records and telling them they don’t have to assist federal agents in arrests. Some Massachusetts hospitals and clinics are posting privacy rights in emergency and waiting rooms in Spanish and other languages.
