Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

California's status as a "sanctuary" state does not mean that undocumented persons are immune from prosecution for crimes they commit in the state. California laws can and do apply to all who commit crimes within its borders, regardless of immigration status. However, the state does limit its cooperation with federal immigration authorities and has policies in place to protect the rights of undocumented persons who come into contact with the criminal justice system.
