California: Cops no longer have to be U.S. citizens, according to new law in January

FAIRFIELD — Peace officers, starting in 2023, will no longer have to be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, according to a new law that goes into effect on Jan. 1.

The new standard is that officers, and trainees, must be “legally authorized to work in the United States.”

“Existing law requires peace officers in this state to meet specified minimum standards, including, among other requirements, being at least 18 years of age, being of good moral character, as determined by a thorough background investigation, and being either a citizen of the United States or a permanent resident who is eligible for and has applied for citizenship, except as prescribed,” according to the text of Senate Bill 960, authored by state Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, and signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sept. 29.

“This bill would provide that those standards shall be interpreted and applied consistent with federal law and regulations, as specified. The bill would remove the provision that requires peace officers to either be a citizen of the United States or be a permanent resident who is eligible for and has applied for citizenship, and would instead require peace officers be legally authorized to work in the United States, and make conforming changes,” the text states.

Any agency that hires in violation of the standard, the responsible individuals could face misdemeanor or even felony charges.

How sad. Democrats cheering over us having an open border, collapsing economy, spiraling crime, gender reassignment of children, totally corrupt federal government, a media industry that are shills for leftist Democrat, energy dependency, and manufactured fears like climate change and covid-19.
