On April 22, 2026, SEIU Local 1000 President Anica Walls testified in support of AB 1807 (Gabriel) in the Assembly Governmental Organization Committee.
Our union is proud to support this measure, which prohibits the use of state-owned property for purposes of immigration enforcement, as a reasonable approach to ensure that the use of state assets remains focused on their intended use.
The bill outlines the following key provisions:
- Prohibits the staging, assembling, mobilizing, or deploying vehicles, equipment or personnel for federal immigration enforcement purposes
- Requires the Department of General Services (DGS) to identify state-owned property previously or likely to be used for immigration enforcement purposes
- Requires state agencies to post signage at those properties regarding the prohibition and to use physical barriers limiting access
- Requires state agencies to develop procedures for reporting by a state employee who learns of an actual or attempted use of state-owned property for immigration enforcement
- Directs state agencies to make educational materials available regarding the rights of employees, tenants, and security staff if federal agents enter state-owned property
