Overview

• Lawmakers passed AB 49 to bar immigration agents from nonpublic school areas and from questioning students without a judicial warrant or court order, while also blocking the release of student and employee information without such orders.
• SB 98 would require K–12 schools and colleges to notify students, families, faculty and staff when federal immigration officers are confirmed to be on campus.
• SB 81 would prohibit healthcare providers from disclosing a patient’s immigration status or granting access to nonpublic clinic and hospital spaces without a warrant or court order.
• The measures now await Gov. Gavin Newsom’s decision and would take effect immediately if signed, drawing bipartisan votes from a handful of Republicans despite broader GOP opposition.
• Districts report continued enforcement activity near schools in California, D.C. and Florida, as LAUSD sets safety perimeters, refuses campus entry without warrants and expands busing and legal clinics, while DHS says arrests of children at schools are rare and not targeted.
