Senate Bill 54, the California Values Act, restricts how Orange County Sheriff and local police share information or hold individuals for federal immigration enforcement, applying countywide regardless of city policy.
SB 54, codified at Government Code §7282 et seq., bars California law enforcement from using state or local resources to investigate, interrogate, detain, or arrest persons for immigration enforcement purposes, with narrow exceptions for serious or violent felony convictions. The Orange County Sheriff publishes ICE-release dates of inmates with qualifying criminal histories, a practice upheld by California courts. OC is not a self-declared sanctuary county, but state law uniformly limits cooperation. Federal detainers without judicial warrants cannot trigger continued custody beyond release.
Agencies violating SB 54 face Department of Justice oversight, civil rights investigations, and individual employees may be disciplined; affected persons may sue under §1983 for unlawful detention.
