AB 1537 will set a common-sense standard across our state.

This bill would prohibit local officers from taking “side jobs” with ICE, CBP, DHS, or any other entity engaged in “civil immigration enforcement” - AKA abducting our neighbors.

ICE’s violence, cruelty and abuses of power are escalating by the day.

And ICE is desperately trying to recruit more agents so they can terrorize more communities.

They’ve even launched ad campaigns like this one to recruit local police and sheriffs 2/

10/ As @silkys13.bsky.social reminds us, we've gotta fight for everyone, because when we accept that some people deserve to suffer human rights abuses, the scope of who will be hurt is easy to expand

This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

9/ People who served their time for convictions decades ago are a vital part of our communities: beloved parents, mentors, care-takers, neighbors, and community leaders.

This includes folks who served as incarcerated firefighters, as @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social pointed out: x.com/ReichlinMeln...
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick on X: "ICE's "public safety" narrative often collapses after scrutiny: The guy on the left was a prison firefighter, a job not available to safety threats. He was granted bond from ICE detention in 2022. Similarly, the man on the right was paroled by CA in 2022 for good behavior. https://t.co/kgeqeZNmCb" / X

8/ We’re talking about people who’ve SERVED THEIR TIME, earned their release, and are eager to contribute to our communities.

This includes permanent residents who also face deportation under harsh federal laws.

7/ Due process is STILL the missing link now.

CA’s state prisons are using our tax dollars to turn people over to ICE without a warrant.

This is often based on rampant racial profiling: www.aclunc.org/publications...

6/ After public outcry, the City Supervisors passed a law to protect due process - over Newsom’s veto.

Years later, Newsom acknowledged that “the issue of due process was the missing link there.” www.kqed.org/forum/201010...

5/ As Mayor of San Francisco, Newsom put a policy in place to automatically report immigrant children and teens to ICE for deportation if they were *accused* of a felony. www.dailynews.com/2018/03/20/a...
As mayor, Newsom policy reported undocumented youth to ICE
A fight over sanctuary policy a decade ago when Newsom was mayor of San Francisco suggests that he wasn’t always as strident a defender of immigrant rights.

4/ At this moment when communities across the state are showing up to defend our neighbors, we need our elected leaders to do better.

We CANNOT concede to rhetoric that justifies ICE’s abuses of power.

Here’s what’s at stake.

3/ Many recent news stories have focused on how most people ICE is targeting don’t have criminal records.

And – NO ONE should be dragged away by masked agents and disappeared to torture sites abroad.

No one.

2/ This is a terrifying moment. Masked ICE/federal agents are violently assaulting, abducting and disappearing our neighbors in broad daylight.

Families are crying out from the basements of detention centers in the dark.

ICE will stop at nothing to meet its vicious quotas.
