Welcome to reading.

U.S. Immigration checks illegal immigrants in California.

According to Sing Tao Daily, the US Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed that it had raided 77 restaurants and other businesses in northern California, including Sacramento, San Jose and San Francisco. Although no one was arrested, the employer must prove the employee's legal work status. This action seems to be consistent with the news that the Immigration Bureau will eliminate undocumented immigrants on a large scale, which has aroused great concern from local officials and citizens in California and the Bay Area.

James Schwab, a spokesman for the San Francisco Immigration Bureau, said that during the raid, immigration officials asked employers to submit I-9 forms within three days to prove that employees have legal status to work in the United States. If employers fail to comply with regulations or submit valid forms, they will face criminal prosecution and fines. But no one has been arrested so far. Schwab also pointed out that this action is to protect the work of American citizens and other legitimate employees, eliminate unfair competition and safeguard national security.

After Trump took office, the number of arrests and repatriations increased by 40%, and the relationship between the federal and California on immigration policy became tense. Last month, the Immigration Bureau raided 65,438+000 enterprises in 65,438+07 states, six of which were located in the Bay Area. During the operation, 2 1 person was captured.

Thomas Homan, the Acting Director of Immigration, has repeatedly criticized California's policy of sheltering cities, saying that this policy has greatly hindered the cooperation between federal and local law enforcement agencies. He even said that he would greatly strengthen law enforcement in California. He told British TV station on October 2nd, 65438/KLOC-0 that he would send more investigators to California.

Senator Kamala Harris, representing California, called the raid a punishment for California. In her statement, she said that law enforcement agencies should concentrate their resources on cracking down on dangerous criminal activities. On the contrary, these raids will only expel people who live legally in the United States and erode the security of immigrant communities.

California Rep. Qiu Xinfu said that immigrants have made great contributions to the United States and contributed 700 billion yuan to the economy. "Trump uses these means to hope that immigrant employees will resign, but we want to tell you, don't be afraid, we are on the same front with you." The AB450 "Migrant Labor Protection Law" proposed by Qiu Xinfu and State Senator Wei came into effect on June 5438+ 10/day this year. The bill restricts immigration law enforcement officers from entering offices or providing employees' immigration records unless the federal government holds a subpoena or court order.

According to this law, California Attorney General Vesela warned employers that if employees' records were handed over to the federal authorities, California laws would be violated and the maximum fine would be 6,543.8+0,000 yuan.

State Representative Ding Youli also reminded that even if you are not an American citizen, you have the right to be protected. You don't need to let federal agents into your home unless they have a court order in your name. You don't need to sign any documents, you have the right to remain silent. If you don't have immigration documents, you can ask a lawyer for assistance. There is no need to answer any questions about your birthplace, but remember not to make any false statements about your identity.

Lin Dele, a senior community organizer of the China Progressive Association, said that they strongly opposed the sweeping by the Immigration Bureau, which not only hurt immigrant families, but also caused panic and made workers afraid to go to work. But the community has a lot of support, and AB450 also protects the rights and interests of immigrants. She suggested that citizens know how to protect themselves.
