How California State Law Allows Illegal Immigrants to Enforce the Law and Violate It at the Same Time
It all started on September 29, 2022, when California Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB960 into law. The bill amended the state’s government code by adding language that allowed non-residents/non-citizens to apply for and be hired as peace officers in California. At the time, there was no mention or language in the bill that specifically allowed illegal immigrants to become officers; rather, it allowed any non-citizen with permission and or legal authorization to work in California under federal law to become peace officers.
