Urge Governor Brown to Veto California's Anti-Detainer Bill TODAY! We need your help fighting California legislation that outright seeks to thwart immigration enforcement. In late August, the California Legislature passed AB 1081and sent the legislation to Governor Jerry Brown. This bill requires state and local law enforcement agents to ignore U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers unless the alien has been convicted of a "serious" or "violent" felony. Even more appalling, even in cases when an alien has been convicted of a serious or violent felony, AB 1081 allows California law enforcement agents to ignore ICE detainers if they so desire. AB 1081 now sits on Governor Brown's desk. If he does not veto this bill by September 30th, the bill will automatically become law. Please call Gov. Brown immediately and urge him to veto this legislation! Tell him: Releasing criminal aliens back onto the streets jeopardizes public safety. ICE has removed over 20,000 criminal aliens from California this year alone — hardly surprising when one considers that California has the highest illegal alien population and the highest criminal alien population. If the Governor signs AB 1081, California prisons and jails will begin releasing most — if not all — of these criminal aliens back onto the streets. This not only affects the public safety of Californians, it affects the public safety of all Americans. Under AB 1081, instead of being deported, these criminal aliens will be free to go to any neighborhood in the nation. If the Governor signs AB 1081, California governments risk losing federal funding. ICE Director John Morton has warned that he may stop reimbursing jurisdictions with anti-detainer laws for the cost of incarcerating criminal aliens. (Read Morton's letter to FAIR here ) The State of California is the largest recipient of such reimbursements in the country, receiving $96 million from the federal government to offset the costs of incarcerating criminal aliens in 2011 alone. If California law enforcement agencies no longer receive this federal funding, it could severely hamper their law enforcement efforts, and their ability to maintain their budgets. Please call Gov. Brown immediately and urge him to veto this legislation! Remember: Gov. Brown has until September 30 to affirmatively veto this legislation. If he fails to take action, the bill will automatically become law.
