California Democrats should be forced to take a position on sanctuary protections for illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes against minors, said Assemblyman Bill Essayli (R-Riverside). Essayli will be forcing a vote on his bill Tuesday, AB 2641 to end sanctuary protections for illegals convicted of sex crimes against minors. Currently Essayli’s bill is languishing because Democrats in the Public Safety Committee refuse to hear it.
We need to know why there are Democrat lawmakers in California opposing a bill to protect American citizens from criminal illegal aliens.
Essayli wants California voters to watch this floor session to see where their elected Assembly members stand.
“Why does CA law protect pedophiles from deportation??” he asked on X/Twitter.
The law Essayli is referencing is Senate Bill 54, from 2017. Then-Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) isthe author of SB 54, which specifically prohibits almost all cooperation and communication with federal immigration authorities.
California is home to the largest illegal-alien population in the country.
“California’s ‘sanctuary state’ experiment has failed which has allowed criminal illegal aliens to victimize California citizens without threat of deportation,” Essayli said. “Recently, a Columbian illegal immigrant who raped a minor American citizen was protected from deportation due to California’s ‘sanctuary state’ laws.”
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported, the illegal alien sex offender from California was released from state custody because “San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office was hampered in its ability to assist in the case, due to California state law limiting local law enforcement cooperation with ICE.”
Enforcement and Removal Operations apprehended the Colombian illegal April 2 who was convicted of sex crimes against a California minor. “He victimized a child in California before moving to Massachusetts,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons. “We simply cannot allow him to reoffend and abuse a child here. ERO Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing noncitizen sex predators from New England.”
I covered SB 54 extensively in 2017:
Sen. Pres. Pro Tem Kevin de León and California Democrats essentially want to bar state and local resources from being used for immigration enforcement. De León said the cost to California to help U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detail suspected illegal immigrants is $65 million.
Proponents of SB 54 claimed the Trump administration’s Executive order is just more racial profiling, and California’s long-standing history of welcoming immigrants overrides illegal immigration enforcement.
Concerned about releasing criminal illegal aliens back into society, Sen. Jeff Stone, R- Temecula, asked repeatedly for assurances that the bill would not allow this. “When we have dangerous felons, undocumented fellons, in prison, should they NOT be deported and prosecuted under the law?” Stone asked de León. Stone said he was concerned they will be released back into communities and cause heinous crimes, similar to what happened to Kate Steinle, who was murdered by a five-time deported criminal illegal alien.
Stone said the bill was making California a Sanctuary State, if passed in its virgin form. Stone tried to get de León to agree to an amendment regarding criminal illegal aliens, but de León resisted.
And that was the plan, evident in de León’s answer to Sen. Stone:
“It’s not necessary,” de León said. “There is nothing stopping ICE from getting the individual.”
Remember, it was California Democrats in the Assembly Public Safety Committee who voted last July 2023 to kill a bill by Sen. Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield), to make child sex trafficking a felony once again in the state. In “California Assembly Democrats Block Bill to Fight Sex Trafficking of Minors,” the Globe reported that Grove’s bill, Senate Bill 14 was blocked in the Assembly Public Safety Committee by Democrats, after passing unanimously in the Senate.
Public outrage and articles like ours put enough pressure on Assembly Democrats that they were shamed into calling for a re-vote on SB 14 and passed it. Gov. Newsom signaled ahead of the new vote that he would sign the bill, which he did in September 2023.
Attending the Tuesday hearing will be Angel mom Agnes Gibboney, whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant. Fox Digital reported that Gibboney immigrated to the United States from communist Hungary. Her son was murdered in the driveway of their California home in 2002; She put the blame on elected officials in a 2018 USA Today op-ed:
“I don’t need to imagine Mollie Tibbetts’ parents’ pain — I live with it every day. Until Congress enforces immigration law, so will other parents.
“The apologists for illegal immigrants will no doubt tell us that the vast majority of illegal immigrants are not violent criminals, and they are right. But that’s not the point. They are all violating laws that exist to protect the best interests of the American people, which is reason enough to enforce our immigration laws. The fact that my son, Mollie, Kate Steinle, Sarah Root and many more whose names never made the headlines are dead is all the more reason why our immigration laws must be enforced.”
Essayli’s AB 2641 language explains that under existing law, a law enforcement official has limited discretion to cooperate with immigration authorities, and may only provide information regarding a person’s release date or transfer an individual to immigration authorities without a judicial warrant or probable cause determination if the individual has been convicted of specified crimes, including, but not limited to, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, or crimes endangering children, as specified, and only if doing so would not violate any federal, state, or local law, or local policy.
Essayli’s AB 2641 would require law enforcement to comply with federal immigration requests to detain or transfer someone or notify immigration agents of the pending release of someone convicted of sex crimes against a child.
This is the bill Democrats are trying to kill. We need to know why there are lawmakers in California opposing a bill to protect American citizens from criminal illegal aliens.

California law enforcement officers are not allowed to ask about immigration status while, for example, making traffic stops. Democrat legislators welcome illegal aliens to sanctuary in California for the purpose of using them to fill out voter registration forms. Then, at election time, Democrat vote-harvesters will collect their mail-in ballots and vote in place of those illegals to make Democrat choices. Pass a law that requires USA citizenship to vote and require voter id. Then, watch what happens to the sanctuary state law – it will disappear.
The republicans have done more damage to California and America then Newsom.
The republican lead Congress prioritized The Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan over America’s borders. California now realizing the greatest number of illegals entering the US/California.
EYEINTHESKY’s posts are both ludicrous and laughable?
First of all, Democrats control the Senate and the presidency.
Secondly,15 Republicans in the Senate voted against the legislation. In the House,112 House Republicans voted against Ukraine aid and 21 House Republicans voted against aid for Ukraine and Israel.
Meanwhile Democrats overwhelming supported the $95 billion aid package to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
Biden signed off on the $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan in April.
Finally, the responsibility of securing the borders is a federal responsibility, and according to the United States Constitution, the federal government has the authority to regulate immigration and border control. Biden and his Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas refuse to enforce border laws and have allowed millions of illegal aliens to enter the country.
EYEINTHESKY is a deluded troll who makes stuff up for his Democrat masters?
When you commence the “coughing up” of blood you’ll realize the Don and Joe side show is nothing more than an obfuscation of the real dangers being imposed on America
http://www.cnn.com/2024/05/03/health/tuberculosis-outbreak-long-beach
Who let the invaders into the country to spread tuberculosis? That would be the Democrat/Biden regime. The dangers facing America are being manufactured by your DEMOCRAT masters and their RINO cronies who are doing the bidding of the globalist cabal.
Congress holds the purse strings. Refuse to fund everything else until the border issues were addressed. They didn’t; they failed the people miserably as all Democrats and Republicans are compromised thus fulfilling the agenda to destroy America.
Those already here are bringing diseases with them.
They’ll be living off of you and I and believe me they’ll be procreating. The related damage to America resides with the Republican lead Congress; make no mistake about it.
Donald Trump if elected must fulfill his promise of full pardon for the Jan 6ers in their entirety: Rumor is Trump is backing away from this promise.
Also be advised given Trump’s proclivities to play on the dark side and low road would preclude him from receiving any and all security clearances public and private. This is your ideal president?
Just keep forcing the issue, Asm Bill Essayli, alongside any other legislative Republicans who are interested in the welfare of Californians and getting us back on track. Sensible Californians SUPPORT that. Duh! Keep the pressure on until the Dem/Marxists EXPLAIN themselves and answer the question, “WHY on earth are you hell-bent to destroy us?” It’s the one thing our Dem/Marxist legislators and A.G. Bonta and Governor Gruesome and etc. do tirelessly and with great enthusiasm and energy.
Answer the question, Dem/Marxists. We want to hear it.
But not answering the question answers it, right? If these destroyers ever pop their heads out of their rat holes they may have noticed that a critical mass of Californians are NOT HAPPY with the current crop of ridiculous Dem politicians and their absurd points of view and actions. So keep trashing the place if you must, but as you do, please BEWARE, the future is with people like Asm Bill Essayli, not the Dem politicians’ weak, pathetic, corrupt, and about-to-collapse house of cards.
Rumor has it the Public Safety Committee meet on Tuesdays.
Another rumor has it the 8 committee members very rarely, if ever *all* attend the meetings. Their website shows the most recent “Past Hearings:
February 10, 2015 Law Enforcement and Community Trust in California Agenda”.
Wow. Thanks Michele1L.
NO STOPPING THIS. IRREPARABLE DAMMAGE ALREADY DONE.

How many thousands of acres in the LA area are too dangerous to walk through at night? How many language ghettos does the LA area have? How many English speaking Americans entering the workforce face job discrimination because they are not bilingual?
Lastly, why has the quality of the California population gone down under democrats?
