A new California bill aims to use grants to help illegal immigrants convicted of violent crimes with legal assistance in the United States.
The bill was introduced in February by Democratic Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer, who sought to “enhance California’s immigration services program for all.”
“For as long as I have been in state office, I have worked towards ensuring people are given a second chance and have championed efforts to prevent people from being treated as second-class individuals,” Jones-Sawyer said. “The REP for All Immigrants Act ensures racial justice and truly equitable access to crucial immigration services for all — not some.”
The bill, AB2031, would allow grant funds to provide legal services to illegal immigrants who are appealing a conviction of a violent or serious felony.
Laura Powell, a California lawyer associated with Californians for Good Governance, warned, “AB2031 would force California taxpayers to fund immigration services for anyone who can claim a nexus to and intent to reside here, including violent criminals facing deportation. We have a budget crisis and this is what Democrats prioritize. They are trying to destroy the state.”

Fortunately, the bill has now been BLOCKED.
California State Assembly member Bill Essayli, a Republican and the first Muslim to be elected to the the California State Assembly, announced on Tuesday:
VICTORY: Today we blocked #AB2031, a dangerous proposal to protect dangerous criminal illegal immigrants from deportation, from advancing out of committee. Because of the pressure that we and the public put on the Democrats, they had no choice but to pull it. This is what an effective opposition party looks like.
We cannot go along to get along with Democrats in Sacramento when our safety and fundamental rights are at stake. I will not be quiet in our fight to bring common sense to Sacramento.
Not to be defeated, Jones-Sawyer responded, claiming he just pulled the bill because his grandmother got sick.
.@billessayli Last night my 87 year-old mother had emergency heart surgery. I wasn’t sure if I would make it to committees today, which is why I pulled the bill. Thankfully, she pulled through.
Thank you to everyone who sent thoughts and prayers for her swift recovery. https://t.co/gUN4zizIHL— Reggie Jones-Sawyer (@JonesSawyerAD57) March 13, 2024

The radical Vera Institute of Justice, a group who pushes to abolish prisons, touted the bill when it was first introduced last month.
