    Farías’ bill doesn’t stop at law enforcement. It prohibits those employed by ICE since the start of Trump’s immigration crackdown to the end of his term from working across state public school systems.

    Farías’ bill would extend the background check requirements to include an investigation of prior employment with ICE — along with employment at the Correction Departments in Alabama and Georgia from 2020 to Jan. 1, 2026.

    Representatives for unions representing California law enforcement and teachers told the Chronicle they were not yet ready to weigh in on the bill.

    Committee hearings for the bill have not yet been scheduled. The bill would need to pass both houses of California’s Legislature and win the signature of Gov. Gavin Newsom to become law.
