On October 7, 2013 California Governor Jerry Brown signed a state bill prohibiting law-enforcement officials from detaining an individual on the basis of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement hold after that person becomes eligible for release, unless he or she has been charged with or convicted of certain crimes, including violent felonies.

No, if they want to leave let them if not make them become a legal citizen and they can go through due process
@B4VNJPW1mo1MO
I think they should just be sent to jail, not deported. There is a reason why they came over to the United States.
@9KTBDWP 1yr1Y
No, if ICE has reason to suspect someone has broken immigration law, agents must obtain a warrant from a judge to investigate just like any other law enforcement agency must.
@9CRTLMVIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes, their first crime was coming to the country illegally and disregarding our loss. That doesn’t mean I don’t feel bad. We definitely need to reformer immigration law but right now it is what it is. If they commit a crime on top of that they should be sent back.
@94XJCV2Progressive3yrs3Y
How about a pathway to citizenship?
@947TYKVConstitution3yrs3Y
The state should be allowed to prosecute and deport at their will or turn them over to the federal level
@8PX3WZPRepublican4yrs4Y
They are illegal immigrants. They broke the law.
@8PWT3YXRepublican4yrs4Y
Yes, just as long as they have committed a crime.
@8NPYW335yrs5Y
They should be given an option or path to legally become a citizen, if not actively in the process already or don't have other proof (work) of a right to be in the country.
@8LP6FG95yrs5Y
If they are to pay taxes no, however if they don’t I feel the leniency would be wearing thin
@8LHLJVN5yrs5Y
No, it is not the responsibility of local law enforcement to detain illegal immigrants
@8L6FPPB5yrs5Y
There should be no federal immigration authorities those powers should be delegated to states.
@98DFN8S2yrs2Y
They should be prosecuted for the crime they did commit equally as an American.
@8XHHWJ24yrs4Y
well if they looked you up and they see you came here ilegally
@8XHNZZH4yrs4Y
all depends on what you did ig
