California Democrats have introduced a bill that would block people who worked for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during President Donald Trump’s administration from later becoming teachers or police officers in the state.
The Democrats’ proposal, dubbed Assembly Bill 1627, (California bill commonly called the MELT ICE Act AB 1627) would disqualify anyone who worked for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency from September 1, 2025, through January 20, 2029, from being employed in various positions in California’s public education system or as peace officers in California.
The positions that the Democrats’ proposal would disqualify former Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees from filling include those in the following positions: K-12 school districts, charter schools, county offices of education, community college districts, the University of California, and California State University, among others, as provided in the California Legislative Information.
The Democrats’ proposal, dubbed AB 1627, would disqualify former Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees from working in California’s public education system or as peace officers in California due to what the Democrats consider to be the abusive immigration practices of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency during the tenure of former US President Donald Trump.
However, the Democrats’ proposal, dubbed AB 1627, is not limited to Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees, as it would disqualify former Alabama Department of Corrections employees or former Georgia Department of Corrections employees from being employed in various positions in California’s public education system or as peace officers in California due to what the Democrats consider to be the problems that exist in the Alabama Department of Corrections and the Georgia Department of Corrections, as provided in the California Legislative Information.
The Democrats’ proposal, Assembly Bill 1627, has been introduced but not passed, and it would need to be approved by California’s legislative body and Gov. Gavin Newsom for it to take effect.
