↓Restricts immigration enforcement model confidence 80%

Imposes procedural requirements and remedies on local prosecutors to prioritize avoiding adverse immigration consequences in plea negotiations, including hearings and potential relief if they fail to do so, which limits standard prosecutorial discretion in ways that reduce immigration enforcement.

A rebuttable presumption of a violation of this section exists where the defendant asserts facts that provide a prima facie showing that during negotiations the defendant proposed an alternative plea or sentence that would avoid adverse immigration consequences, including, but not limited to, an offense of comparable or greater seriousness under California law, and the prosecution declined the offer.
