A spokesperson from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) responded to California\u2019s enactment of Assembly Bill 2792<\/a> (AB 2792), calling the new state law dangerous and an impediment to the enforcement of federal law. AB 2792 was signed into law<\/a> by Governor Jerry Brown (D) in September.<\/p>\n AB 2792 allows criminal aliens in law enforcement custody to refuse any interview with federal immigration. By giving criminal aliens the ability to opt out of a meeting with ICE,\u00a0AB 2792\u00a0essentially allows even the most dangerous criminal aliens to be released back into California communities after their sentences are served.<\/p>\n \u201cICE is deeply concerned this new law will impede the agency\u2019s efforts to identify and ultimately deport individuals deemed to be a danger,\u201d according to an agency spokesperson. \u201cThe agency remains staunchly committed to using every resource and tool at its disposal to promote public safety, [and]we believe this law will hamper that mission.\u201d<\/p>\n
