Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the California Values Act (sanctuary law) to mandate responses to ICE release-date requests, require cooperation in additional criminal-history scenarios, limit barriers to federal cooperation by removing local-policy references, and impose new duties on local agencies, all of which expand immigration enforcement. Deleted provisions that would have further preempted local ordinances were removed in amendment, but the core changes still expand enforcement scope.
