New California laws for those here illegally include letting them serve on government boards and banning immigration arrests in state courthouses.
California lawmakers continued the state’s expansion of rights and protections this year for immigrants who enter the country illegally, with laws signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom allowing them to serve on government boards and commissions and banning arrests for immigration violations in courthouses across the state.
The legislation signed by Newsom also expands California’s college student loan program for so-called Dreamers, young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, to include students seeking graduate degrees at the University of California and California State University schools. Undergraduate Dreamers already are eligible for those loans and in-state tuition. The new laws take effect Jan. 1.But the governor didn’t embrace every immigration proposal that landed on his desk.
and found that almost all facilities detained people in cells for long periods of time — sometimes up to 22 hours a day — without any breaks. Immigrants faced significant language barriers and challenges in accessing medical and mental healthcare and legal counsel, state investigators found. Detainees were allowed only minimal contact with friends and family.
California already provides government-subsidized health services to immigrant children and youth from low-income families.
