California Democrats need to go on record to repeal sanctuary protections for illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes against minors, said a lawmaker who is trying to do just that.
Republican state Rep. Bill Ezeili said local governments would participate in all types of federal immigration enforcement, including prohibiting law enforcement from asking someone about their immigration status or notifying immigration authorities of the information. He said he would reintroduce a bill that would repeal the state law banning this. When a suspect is scheduled to be released from local custody.
The law, SB 54, also known as the “California Values Act,” is sometimes referred to as the “sanctuary state” law. Essayri plans to file AB 2641 next week, which would require law enforcement agencies to detain, transport, or detain persons convicted of child sex offenses, pending release, at the request of federal immigration authorities. The content requires notification to an immigration officer.

The bill had previously been introduced to lawmakers, but the powerful Democratic-controlled Assembly Public Safety Committee refused to hold a hearing on the bill, Esseri said.
“They don’t want to justify or explain why they protect pedophiles from deportation,” he told Fox News Digital.
“They don’t want to justify or explain why they’re protecting pedophiles from deportation.”
The committee came under fire last year when it initially blocked a bill that would have made child trafficking a serious felony. The group ultimately reversed course after an outcry from Democratic leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, and the public.
Agnes Gibony, who immigrated to the United States from communist Hungary and whose son was murdered in her California driveway in 2002, said elected officials were to blame.
“They forgot that they were working for all of us,” Gibony, an American citizen and angel mom, told FOX News Digital. “They have an equal right to protect not just the Latinx community, but the American community, the Asian community, the Black community, everyone else, and they don’t.”

“They’re just protecting a certain class of people… and that’s shameful,” she added. “What’s the point in protecting someone who raped a young child?”
They are only protecting a certain class of people and that is shameful. ”
Inspired by a recent case in which a Colombian man convicted of a sex crime in California was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Massachusetts, Ezeiri said California’s immigration policies should be legalized. He said it was an opportunity for him to call for corrections. He was released from a California correctional facility, but the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office said, “California law limits cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement), “Their ability to support them was hampered.” ICE said.
Esseri said a strategic move would also be to target undocumented immigrants convicted of sex crimes against children, rather than all undocumented immigrants.
“I want to defend them (Democrats) and let them explain that they shouldn’t be doing this,” he said. “The problem is, if I introduce a bill that completely repeals sanctuary states, they’re going to tell grandmas and children who have been convicted of minor crimes, saying, ‘He’s going to be deported now. I’ve never been to the country before.” As an adult. ” We’re going to hear a sob story. ”

“Let’s pick the worst of the worst and let Democrats justify and defend their policies,” he added.

Gibbony is calling on lawmakers to vote in favor of a “decent bill” that he says is desperately needed in California.
“This is what the law used to be,” she said. “So who later ordered the police officers to tell them they couldn’t do their jobs?”
