Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Life & Work
Noncitizens with criminal records face a mixed picture. While they benefit from the sensitive-location protections like everyone else, the bill's key exception allows enforcement actions carried out under criminal warrants. This means those with active criminal warrants would not be shielded by the bill's protections.
“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.”
