AG Rob Bonta offers legal support and warns of potential scams targeting immigrants

State Attorney General Rob Bonta issued further guidance last week to immigrants in California about their rights under state and federal law and offered new model policies for public institutions like courts, hospitals and schools.

The attorney general’s advisory also warned of potential scams that could target immigrants.
 
Bonta convened with legal advocates and elected officials in San Francisco for the second of five regional meetings that the attorney general scheduled after Donald Trump was elected in November with threats of carrying out mass deportations across the country.

California became a sanctuary state in 2018, prompted by Trump’s first election. The law prevents local or state law enforcement from using resources to assist federal immigration authorities or making arrests of their own on that basis. It also affirms residents’ rights under the state constitution, regardless of immigration status.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Isn't it a conflict of interest for prosecutors to act as defense attorneys at the same time? :shrug:
