Immigration (Border Security)

Existing law generally prohibits law enforcement from providing information regarding the release date of an individual from custody or from transferring an individual to immigration authorities without a warrant or judicial probable cause determination. This bill, the California Secure Borders Act of 2025, would state the intent of the Legislature to combat illegal immigration and secure the border by repealing those provisions, prohibiting the use of state funds for various welfare, health, housing, and other services for undocumented immigrants, requiring public disclosure of information on the impact of illegal immigration on crime rates and state and local services, providing cross-deputization training for local law enforcement to support federal border security actions, and providing standards for deployment of the State Guard to the border.

This measure would call upon the federal government to locate the missing children who were brought across the southern border of the United States under the Biden Administration and to take immediate and comprehensive action to address the crisis of missing undocumented children, as specified. The measure would also call upon the incoming administration and Congress to act with urgency and compassion to address this crisis and uphold the nation's commitment to protecting vulnerable children.
