California Upholds Immigrant Civil Rights

California has enacted strong legal protections against discrimination targeting immigrants. Key areas enforced by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing include:

• Barring employment discrimination based on national origin, immigration status, accent and language
• Requiring businesses serve all immigrants regardless of race, language or status
• Prohibiting housing discrimination on the basis of race, national origin or status
• Classifying racial, ethnic or anti-immigrant harassment and threats as potential hate crimes
• Mandating equal access to state-funded programs regardless of immigrant status
• Making human trafficking through forced labor or sex illegal, with potential immigration relief for cooperating victims
