Life & Work
The bill protects courthouse areas from enforcement, helping people attend court proceedings. However, the criminal warrant exception means that individuals wanted on criminal warrants can still be arrested at any location, including sensitive ones. For immigrants with criminal records, the protections are limited.
“The restrictions under sections 3 and 4 may not be construed to prohibit or restrict enforcement actions conducted pursuant to a criminal arrest warrant or a criminal search warrant issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.”
