They are not illegal immigrants so probably the CA sanctuary policy doesn't apply. Now the question is are the Fed pursuing any prosecution.

- toast0 7y agoSo, if the B-1 visas are revoked while the holders are in the US, ICE would probably like to deport them as part of their Immigration Enforcement activities. The biggest portion (in my mind) of the law that I found [1] is: > 7284.6. (a) California law enforcement agencies shall not: > (1) Use agency or department moneys or personnel to investigate, interrogate, detain, detect, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes, including any of the following: > [long list] I would say that the state was investing a company, not necessarily a person, and for tax enforcement purposes, not for immigration enforcement purposes. I also may not have the final law (or it may have been adjusted since). Also, people on B-1 visa shouldn't remain in the country for very long at a stretch (max 6 months), so it's likely there aren't a lot of people who could be detained for violations.
