Angelo Paparelli quoted in the San Jose Mercury News

Angelo Paparelli was quoted in a January 19 story from the San Jose Mercury News, "If immigration authorities raid the Bay Area, could the state stop them?," on AB450, a state law that went into effect Jan. 1 prohibiting employers from allowing immigration officials to enter the private areas of their workplaces without a judicial warrant. The law also bans employers from handing over employee immigration records without warrants in some cases. Paparelli said that it will cause a lot of confusion for employers as to walking the fine line between cooperating with immigration agents and refusing to cooperate. He predicted that if any broad immigration raids do happen in California, the new law would quickly be challenged in the courts. You can read the full article here.
