California Democrats introduce bill ‘AB 2669,’ this will give illegals lighter sentences than American citizens and force prosecutors to avoid immigration consequences for illegals who commit crimes

This bill is INSANE

“This one would give preferential sentencing treatment to illegal immigrants — Citizens would be judged harsher than people here illegally. It's Assembly Bill 2669, and you should take a look at it because it says when a prosecutor is deciding whether or how much to charge an illegal immigrant, that they are now going to be required to take into account the possible impact impacts it might have on the illegal immigrant if they're charged with the crime as it relates to their ability to stay in this country. Insane” - California Rep Carl DeMaio

Let me fully break this down

It amends Penal Code Section 1016.3, which already requires:

- Defense counsel to advise noncitizen defendants about immigration consequences of pleas and dispositions.
- Prosecutors to consider avoiding adverse immigration consequences, like deportation, as one factor in plea negotiations “in the interests of justice.”

AB 2669 strengthens this by:

- Requiring prosecutors to meet and confer with the defense specifically to try to avoid adverse immigration consequences of a plea, conviction, or sentence.
- Creating a rebuttable presumption of a violation if the defendant shows they proposed an alternative plea and sentence, even a more serious offense, that would avoid immigration issues and the prosecutor rejected it

It also allowscourts to impose remedies if the prosecutor fails to meet the standard

Democrats are the worst enemy America has. They don’t work for you, they work for foreign invader criminals
