Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrest a man in 2015 in San Antonio, Texas.
A new California law requiring detained immigrants to be notified of their rights before questioning by federal agents violates U.S. law and could interfere with deportation of dangerous people, a federal agency said Thursday.
The state legislation, AB2792 by Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Alameda, is “in conflict with federal law,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said. The agency stopped short of announcing a legal challenge, an action that may depend on the outcome of the presidential election.
