Amid allegations of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers (ICE) targeting probationers, and arresting them in their homes, California has passed a new law that would specify such home searches are only permitted by probation or peace officers.
Senate Bill 852, authored by state Sen. Susan Rubio (D-Baldwin Park), clarifies previous law and states that ICE and Customs and Border Protection officers are not California peace officers, who have the authority to conduct probation checks.
