On Tuesday, legislation introduced by Bay Area lawmakers that would hold federal officers liable for unconstitutional behavior moved forward in the state Legislature. Under existing federal law, individuals can sue local and state officers, but not federal officers. The state Senate on Tuesday voted 30-10 in favor of the bill, which will head to the state Assembly next. Meanwhile, Wahab said, state and local police officers are not even allowed to speak to a minor without a parent present. On Monday, state Assemblymember Anamarie Avila Farias, D-Martinez, introduced Assembly Bill 1627, which would disqualify ICE employees from becoming peace officers or teachers in California.
