AB 937 Page 18 immigration violations arc used to help bring the major criminal operations to justice. P xisting law, which we helped negotiate and was greed to by all sides, allows fill- these operation, so km.as 1) the primary purpose of tile task totre is [lift unnigration entin-cement, 2) the investiptive duties are prin-u ily related to crimes uamrelated to Jimnigtation er&.rrcentent. and 3) participation in the task force does not violate state or local laws.... SB 937 undercuts these very deliberately crafted sL<tnacs and does so to the detriment of public safety. Snnilarly, Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) writes that it "cannot support a State bill that tours our States public satety officers to stand by while our tbdcial cottrtterparts are injured or killed in the perfirrmanec of their duties." PORAC goes on to sav that, "if the federal government requires our involvement, such as ten>tmrarily housing an undocwriented arrestee, then it is Our responsibility to adhere to the needs of the tedemal government. Ilse Calikitnia State Sheng A_ssocWion, on the other ttmncl, takes particular issue with the bff elimination of "the requit-enment that an offender's place of birth be included in basic mforinalion stored in state or local crunitlial ollendcr record irdormation systems [bccausc it] will make that iform»atiOtm lass aecun rte and less uuclil to the stakeholders that rely r41011 that information, irrespective of whether the person is subject to army immigration enforcement action."
