California Attorney General Xavier Becerra visited officials in Fresno on Friday, Feb. 9, 2018.
Attorney General Xavier Becerra said Friday in Fresno that employers must protect confidential information about employees when federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents ask questions. The advice from the state's top law enforcement officer comes only days after at least 40 workers at Bee Sweet Citrus in Fowler lost their jobs after federal immigration agents began checking employee records, searching for people who are not legally allowed to work in the United States.
