Requires community colleges to allow deported or detained faculty (due to immigration enforcement or related threats) to continue teaching remotely, so less immigration enforcement by state/local government in the education context.
A community college district shall allow a deported or detained faculty member of the community college district who meets subdivision (c) to perform, to the extent possible, their contracted instruction and professional duties through a remote teaching arrangement.
Requires community colleges to allow deported or detained faculty (due to immigration enforcement or related threats) to continue teaching remotely, limiting practical effects of federal immigration actions on faculty employment.
“Deported or detained faculty member” means a faculty member who departed the United States on or after January 1, 2027, who was teaching in a California community college at the time of departure or detention, and their departure occurred for any of the following reasons: (A) Due to immigration enforcement actions by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires community college districts to permit faculty deported or deterred by federal immigration enforcement (or related threats/denials of reentry) to continue performing their duties remotely. This limits the practical impact of immigration enforcement on state educational employment without changing federal enforcement itself.
