Here's something else to chew on: Effective January 1, a new California law forbids employers from giving voluntary consent allowing an immigration enforcement officer to enter a "nonpublic area of a place of labor" unless the officer has a judicial warrant.

The new law, called the Immigrant Worker Protection Act, includes the following new text:

Quote:
(a) Except as otherwise required by federal law, an employer, or a person acting on behalf of the employer, shall not provide voluntary consent to an immigration enforcement agent to enter any nonpublic areas of a place of labor. This section does not apply if the immigration enforcement agent provides a judicial warrant. . . .

(c) This section shall not preclude an employer or person acting on behalf of an employer from taking the immigration enforcement agent to a nonpublic area, where employees are not present, for the purpose of verifying whether the immigration enforcement agent has a judicial warrant, provided no consent to search nonpublic areas is given in the process.


I guess the "public"/"nonpublic" distinction is to let them eat in restaurants and buy gas and such, in the "public" parts of the businesses.
